Leader of Congress in the Lok Sabha, Adhir Chowdhury on Tuesday hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for allowing an Eastern Union delegation to visit Jammu & Kashmir to assess the ground situation there.
Terming this as “paradoxical”, he said Modi has a colonial hangover and views Indian delegation as “native and incompetent”.
Chowdhury urged the Centre to send an all party delegation to Jammu & Kashmir to take stock of the situation there following the abrogation of Article 370.
“It is paradoxical to note that our @PMOIndia considers EU parliamentarians worthy of offering accreditation certificate to his #Kashmir policy than the Indian counterpart, as @narendramodiji still inherits colonial hangover and views us as native and incompetent,” Chowdhury said in a tweet.
“May I urge upon the government to send an all party delegation to J&K, to take stock of the situation,” he added.
A delegation of 23 European Union MPs arrived in Jammu & Kashmir on Tuesday for a first-hand assessment of the situation in the region following the revocation of the special status to the State under Article 370. The delegates arrived in Kashmir to a complete shutdown and clashes between people and security forces in several parts of the city and the Valley.
