PATNA: Muslims too are equally pained over the ghastly Pulwama attack, said Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Thursday while appealing the entire country to not boycott Kashmir as it is an integral part of India.
Addressing a press conference here, Nitish said: “Muslim community of this country is equally pained over the Pulwama attack like their other fellow Indians. I don’t understand why someone wants to boycott Kashmir. We should not take action against Kashmiris as they are part of India.”
“There is no place on this earth where everyone has similar opinions, people have contrasting views. We should not judge Kashmiris on Pulwama attack. One should not boycott Kashmir and Kashmiris,” he added.
Responding to the demands to revoke Article 370 in Kashmir, the Bihar Chief Minister stated: “Article 370 will not be removed from Kashmir. Whatever action is required to take against terrorists and rampant growth of terrorism, the government will surely take it. I personally can never think of revoking Article 370 from the Valley.”
Article 370 of the Indian Constitution grants special autonomous status to Jammu and Kashmir. (PTK)
