Kolkata, Nov 03 (ANI): EAM S Jaishankar on November 02 talked about the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019 and said that the temporary provision given under Article 370 to Jammu and Kashmir continued for more than 70 years due to the “politics of the day”. “Other than politics of the day what was the reason for a temporary provision to continue so long?” he said. “It is important to put the national interest first. Politics of the day should not hamper the larger interest of the nation. All politicians should have that approach in the first place,” he said, adding that “politics of the day should not lead our borders to be vulnerable.”
