NEW DELHI: The government on Wednesday denied that any civilian, who is not an employee of the central government or a journalist, was privy to knowledge about the nullification of Article 370 in Jammu & Kashmir before the information was shared with Parliament on August 5, 2019.
This was shared by MoS (Home) G Kishan Reddy in reply to a query by Rajya Sabha MP Syed Nasir Hussain. The question comes in the wake of leaked chats of Republic TV’s Arnab Goswami, where he is in a conversation with BARC chief Partho Dasgupta after the Pulwama terror attack, allegedly hinted that the government would make a big strike in Pakistan in response to the attack and also take a significant decision on Jammu & Kashmir.
