National Conference (NC) president Farooq Abdullah said on Monday that Article 370 was implemented due to concerns that people from Punjab might migrate to Jammu and Kashmir after partition and settle there, reported ANI.
"We didn`t bring Article 370. This was introduced and implemented by Maharaja Hari Singh in 1947. It was only out of fear that the people of Punjab would come here after partition and settle down and the poor people of our state would sell their land at lesser rates," he said while addressing a press conference in Jammu.
