Top five statements given by Ravi Shankar Prasad in Purvodaya 2019

Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on Wednesday said that Article 370 which provided special status to Jammu and Kashmir was a hindrance in the way to progress of the valley and its abrogation will prove to be a beneficial move.

Speaking at an conclave organised by Hindustan, Purvodaya, held in Ranchi, Jharkhand, Prasad said that the Article never served any purpose for the betterment of Kashmir, but was often misused to block a number of government acts. He said that due to Article 370, several acts like Rights To Education, Right To Information and Prevention of Corruption Act could not be implemented in the former Indian state.
