Common man in Kashmir rejoicing abrogation of Article 370: Union minister Jitendra Singh

On the Centre's decision pertaining to Article 370, Union minister Jitendra Singh said, "Common man in Kashmir is rejoicing abrogation of Article 370. Wherever Section 144 was imposed, it is being taken off. On the eve of Eid, there is much more atmosphere of peace this time compared to several other occasions of Eid in the years gone by."

Jitendra Singh also called media reports on Kashmir violence absolutely false and said, "These reports (on disruption in Kashmir Valley) already stand contradicted."
