The Home Minister said that abrogation of articles 370 and 35A was a big milestone for the unity and integrity of India.

Shri Shah said that since Article 370 came into force as many as 40 thousand people lost there lives, which was the grave concern for his party and hence BJP Government was firm to nullify the Article 370.
