Mamata Banerjee expresses concern over house arrest of Jammu and Kashmir leaders

Expressing concern over the situation in Kashmir, West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday questioned the method in which Article 370 was abrogated Jammu and Kashmir.
Speaking at an Independence Day event in Kolkata, Banerjee said, "I love Kashmir. I don't want to get into the merits of Article 370 but let me say this again that the method was wrong. The way it was implemented is undemocratic, by terrorising people at gunpoint. It is wrong."
"We still don't know the whereabouts of their former Chief Ministers there. Do we not have the right to seek answers? There was scope for peaceful negotiation but they simply bulldozed it," Banerjee alleged.
