Then <em>Insaaniyat</em> was not there because they put everyone behind bars and <em>Kashmiriyat</em> is something which is basically the fundamental of secularism because in a Muslim majority state, there was a Hindu Raja and both worked together. In fact, the reservation in Kashmir was given to the Kashmiri pandits in the government services".</p> <p>"Therefore the decision of revoking article 370 and reducing the statehood of J&amp;K is extremely I would say a sad decision and the Congress party would certainly like to have a relook at this issue," Digvijaya Singh added.</p> <p>[tw]https://twitter.com/amitmalviya/status/1403558903049293826[/tw]&nbsp;</p> <p>BJP National Spokesperson Sambit Patra levelled several allegations at the opposition party, terming Congress as a "clubhouse of Anti-nationals".</p> <p>[tw]https://twitter.com/sambitswaraj/status/1403563785290407940[/tw]</p> <p>As per inputs, Digvijaya Singh responded to the allegations by saying that BJP does not understand the difference between shall and will.

Whether or not will this controversy escalate and how will other senior Congress leaders respond to it - remains to be seen.</p>
