New Delhi: Senior Congress leader Janardan Dwivedi on Monday differed with his party on the abrogation of Article 370, saying a "historical mistake" has been corrected by the government.
Backing Modi government's decisions, Dwivedi said that it is a matter of national satisfaction that a "mistake" done at the time of independence has been corrected. "It is a very old issue.

After independence, many freedom fighters did not want Article 370 to remain. I had my political training under Dr Ram Manohar Lohia, who was against this Article. Personally, this is an issue of a matter of satisfaction for the nation "This historical mistake that happened at the time of independence has been rectified today, even though late, and is welcomed," Dwivedi said. He clarified that his opinion is personal and not that of his party.

The senior Congress leader who remained AICC general secretary (organisation) for a long time, has been taking stands which are at variance with the party's. He had also welcomed demonetisation.



Dwivedi said the Rajya Sabha passed the bill on Monday and there is no doubt that it will be passed by Lok Sabha on Tuesday.

Former Congress MP Deepender S Hooda in a tweet said, "My personal view is that there isn't a need to have Article 370 in the 21st century. The move is not only in the interest of the country but also for the benefit of Jammu and Kashmir, which is an integral part of India. It is the responsibility of the government to implement the move in a peaceful environment."

The order follows an assurance given by state Home Guard Minister Chetan Chauhan that no home guard would be removed.

After the news reports appeared in the media, the government had clarified that it was trying to find out the solution to the problem so that the Diwali festival was ...

Stand Ki Aankh Aasmaa song out

Stand Ki Aankh Aasmaa song out After the release of foot-tapping tracks Udta Teeter and Womaniya, Saand Ki Aankh's third song Aasmaa is hitting the right chords, all thanks to legendary singer Asha Bhosle's melodious voice. Tasmania features Taapsee Pannu and Bhumi Pednekar in their older avatars as Chandro and Prakashi Tomar, supporting their daughters in winning the gold medal in sharpshooting. What makes Aasmaa different from the previous two tracks is that the new number not only features Taapsee and Bhumi, but it also introduces their daughters and their struggles in dealing with the inherent patriarchy in society. And Asha Bhosle crooning to "aasmaa uncha hai meri, tu hi choo Lena..." aptly describes their hardships. Asha's last was in the Vidya Balan-starrer Beghum Jaan in 2017. Therefore, to have her back after two years makes it extra special. Taapsee and Bhumi, who are essaying the sexagenarian sharpshooters in Anurag Kashyap's production Sa...
