The Jammu and Kashmir unit of the Congress Wednesday staged a sit-in outside the Governor''s house here, accusing the BJP of making "false promises" with regard to the abrogation of Articles 35A and 370 of the Constitution.
The Congress activists were led by senior party leader and Jammu district president Vikram Malhotra.
They sought clarification from the BJP over its promise of removing special constitutional provisions with regard to the state and setting up of a delimitation commission.
Article 370 grants a special status to Jammu and Kashmir and limits Parliament''s power to make laws concerning the state while Article 35A empowers the state assembly to define ''permanent residents'' for bestowing special rights and privileges on them.
