   Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah today castigated BJP leadership without naming them for raising the false boggy of revocation of Article 370 of the Constitution of India providing for special status to Jammu and Kashmir. He added that BJP has developed a trait to deceive the people on this issue as soon as elections draw nearer.“We the people of Jammu and Kashmir categorically tell them that revocation of Article 370 is not possible at all and any attempt by anyone on this sensitive issue would be on our dead bodies”, he asserted and said that during the six and a half years tenure of BJP Government at the Centre, it has not even a single time talked about this issue. “BJP only raises the issue of Article 370 when elections are in sight”, he said and challenged this party to dare to touch Article 370 which has established Jammu and Kashmir relations with the Union of India. “You have to do it on our dead bodies”, he lamented and said that the National Conference and the Congress would foil all attempts to weaken the State-Central relations.Speaking at a function after inauguration of Banihal-Qazigund Railway Tunnel and Line by the Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh in presence of UPA Chairperson, Mrs. Sonia Gandhi, Governor, N. N. Vohra, Union Minister for Railways, Mallikarjun Kharge, Union Minister for Health, Ghulam Nabi Azad, President Pradesh Congress Committee and Parliament Member, Prof. Saif-ud-Din Soz, the Chief Minister said that the relations between Jammu and Kashmir and Union of India have been established through Article 370 by the then Prime Minister of Jammu and Kashmir Late Sher-i-Kashmir Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah and Prime Minister of India, Late Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru. He said NC and Congress would work jointly to further cement and strengthen these relations.Omar Abdullah said that there may be some differences on certain political issues between National Conference and Congress in the State but both parties are firm to strengthen the ties between Jammu and Kashmir and the Union of India through Article 370 and nurture the nationalist forces in the State. “We would work together to cultivate and strengthen the nationalism and nationalist forces”, he maintained and said that both these parties would not be browbeaten by any threat or challenge on this count.
