NEW DELHI: Senior Congress leader Karan Singh, the son of the late Maharaja Hari Singh of Jammu and Kashmir, praised the Supreme Court’s ruling confirming Article 370‘s repeal and urged everyone to “accept the inevitable.” The Supreme Court ruled on Monday that no decision made by the Centre on behalf of a State may be challenged in court, upholding the Union Government’s decision to repeal Article 370 of the Constitution, which granted Jammu and Kashmir special status. Singh also recommended that political parties in J&K move forward with their preparations for the upcoming elections rather than needlessly pushing themselves too far. Singh also urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to reinstate statehood.“I’m glad to have it. It’s evident now that whatever took place was lawful under the constitution.I ask Prime Minister Modi to quickly reestablish statehood “A section of people in J&K who will not be happy with this judgement, my sincere advice is that they should accept the inevitable and they should accept the fact that now this has been done and the Supreme Court has upheld the action and therefore there’s no point now unnecessarily hitting their head against the wall,” he continued. “I now advise them to focus their efforts on contesting the upcoming elections. People ought to be inspired there right now rather than becoming pessimistic,” Karan Singh continued.
