Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, the central figure in defending the abrogation of Article 370 of the Constitution, Monday hailed Supreme Court's Article 370 verdict, affirming the government's August 5, 2019 decision, as a correction of a "Himalayan constitutional blunder" of monumental proportions.

As the sole legal representative involved in the pre-August 5, 2019 process of abrogating Article 370 and having led arguments before the Supreme Court's constitution bench, Mehta deemed it a historic day for him personally. In a statement, Mehta asserted that August 5, 2019, and the current date would be etched in India's history as the day when a colossal constitutional error from the past was rectified by the government.
