Former Union Health Minister and Democratic Progressive Azad Party chief Ghulam Nabi Azad Wednesday criticized opposition parties for showing unity only when their own parties face specific problems but remaining silent on the issue of conducting elections in Jammu and Kashmir.

“They (the opposition) remained silent for the last six years on the issue of conducting elections in Jammu and Kashmir. They talk about unity only when their parties face any problem. Why they didn't say anything? Jammu and Kashmir which was a significant state before the abrogation of Article 370, was made a Union Territory and the other parties even voted in support of the Bharatiya Janata Party," Azad said as per ANI.
