Revoking Article 370 will lead to Constitutional coup: Farooq Abdullah

New Delhi, July 20: National Conference president Farooq Abdullah on Saturday said annulling Articles 370 and 35-A will tantamount to a constitutional coup.

He asserted that Article 370 is essential and unassailable until a final resolution of the issue of Jammu and Kashmir is reached.

"Keeping in view the special circumstances (at the time of accession of J&K to India), Article 370 was added to the Constitution of India. The Article will remain as it is until the final resolution of the issue of Jammu and Kashmir is not reached to," Farooq Abdullah said addressing a party convention in Handwara area of Kupwara district.
