Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah strongly criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi's remarks on Article 370, questioning the narrative that it hindered progress. Abdullah retorted, "If Article 370 was this bad, how did Jammu and Kashmir ever make progress?" PM Modi, during his Srinagar visit, hailed the scrapping of Article 370 as ushering in a "new Jammu and Kashmir." Abdullah countered, citing past comparisons of progress under Article 370. He also criticized the scrapping of the provision, stating, "Today, education is only free up to the 14th class." He called for an impartial investigation into the pre and post-370 revocation discrepancies.
