Varanasi: Targetting the BJP, Shankaracharya of Jyotish and Dwarka-Sharda peeths Swami Swaroopanand Saraswati on Thursday demanded revocation of special status of Jammu and Kashmir and Article 370 for finding a permanent solution to the problem.“Kashmir is an inseparable part of India and can’t be given up. Article 370 should be revoked,” the seer told reporters.“As BJP holds power in the Centre, Article 370 should be revoked. The Jana Sangh is in the root of BJP government. Shyama Prasad Mukharjee, who was a minister in the Congress regime, was the founder of Jana Sangh. It was Mukharjee who opposed the special status given to J&K and making Sheikh Abdullah Sadar-e-Riyasat (chief of state). He had said that two systems could not run in one country,” claimed the seer adding that Mukharjee was jailed in Kashmir where he had died.Further targetting the BJP, the seer said: “Jiske virodh mein tumhare sansthapak ki mrityu hui hai, woh kaam tum kyon nahi karte (Why don’t you act in the matter for which your founder had died).”He added, “Remember the sacrifice of Mukharjee and abolish Article 370.”“Kashmiri Pundits should be rehabilitated in J&K. Apne aap samasya khatam ho jayegi. Tarka to hai, par karte hi nahi ho aap (The problem would be resolved itself. There is a way, but you [BJP] don’t do it).”
