In top courts, tussle over Article 370

While coalition partners PDP and BJP had agreed not to touch Article 370 in their "agenda of alliance" in Jammu and Kashmir, sharp differences on the issue were on display during the latest session of the Assembly. After Leader of Opposition Omar Abdullah warned Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti in the House that the BJP might use the judiciary to scrap Article 370 because "it has understood it cannot use legislation", the Chief Minister said any move to change J&K’s special status would be "anti national".
