Anupam Kher thinks removal of Article 370 will solve Kashmir issue

Veteran Bollywood actor Anupam Kher after emerging as a lone warrior against the issue of intolerance and ‘Award Wapsi’, has said that there is a need of removing Article 370 for solving the ‘Kashmir Problem’.

According to IANS, the actor said that the day Article 370 (giving special status to J&K) is removed; the Kashmir problem would be solved. He added that the day people from Bengal, Punjab, Gujarat and other parts of the country are given permission to settle down in Kashmir, the problem would be solved.

Kher also feels that this does not suit anyone. The 60-year-old supported the idea of separate homeland. He said, “I definitely support the idea of a separate homeland, regarding composite township is concerned, let the Kashmiri Pandit colonies be established in Kashmir and after that if (other) people want to settle let them do that,”

Kher admitted that it is not possible for the community to return to their old houses from where they were thrown out from their homes 26 years ago.
