What has changed after the abrogation of Article 370 in IIOJK? Shiv Sena

Two days after three BJP workers were detained while trying to hoist the Tricolour at Lal Chowk in Srinagar, the Shiv Sena mouthpiece Saamana on Wednesday slammed the Centre and questioned as to why the Indian flag could not be unfurled at Lal Chowk even after the abrogation of Article 370.

In an editorial in the party mouthpiece, the Sena said Leh and Ladakh had been removed from Kashmir and the BJP had won the Ladakh council elections and celebrated its victory. “But it is a defeat that the Tricolour cannot be unfurled in Kashmir,” the editorial said.

It also said the incident showed that the situation had not improved in Kashmir. “The improvement seems to be merely cosmetic,” it added.
