NEW DELHI: Delhi chief Minister and AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal hailed the Union government’s move to abolish Article 370 hoping it will bring peace and development in Jammu and Kashmir. However, the Kashmiri students in the national capital expressed concern for their family members back home.

“We hope this will bring peace and development in the state,” the chief minister tweeted. Mr Kejriwal said the AAP supports the Centre’s move on Jammu and Kashmir.

Meanwhile, later the Aam Admi Party in a statement said that Kashmir situation is 180 degree opposite to that of Delhi. We cannot compare the Kashmir situation with that of Delhi and Puducherry. 2/3 of the original Kashmir is under the occupation of Pakistan and China. There were around 150 incidents of infiltration that occurred last year in Kashmir. We cannot compare a peaceful state with a disturbed border state.

We have supported and opposed the Central government based on issues.
