Politicos react as Shah claims Sardar Patel 'would not have let J & K split

New Delhi, Sep 18 (ANI): Politicos reacted on Thursday after BJP Chief Amit Shah said that Jammu and Kashmir would have not split and Article 370 of the constitution not existed had Sardar Vallabbhai Patel handled the issue of J&K instead of Jawaharlal Nehru. BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said there was some deficiency in Nehru's governance and hence Kashmir is suffering today. NCP leaders Majid Memon said that Shah was not present at the time of independence hence he shouldn't comment on the situation. NCP leader Tariq Anwar and CPI leader D Raja said that Shah's comment lacks historical resonance. CPI leader Atul Anjan said that J & K is in crisis due to floods and it's not the right time to start new politics. Sep 18, 2014
