Jammu and Kashmir National Conference vice president, Omar Abdullah, criticized the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government on Wednesday, stating that the abrogation of Article 370 has damaged the historic bond between Jammu and Kashmir and the rest of the country.

Responding to Union Home Minister Amit Shah's remarks in Parliament, Abdullah expressed the discontent of the people of Jammu, Kashmir, and Ladakh over the decision to revoke the special status of the erstwhile state.
