He also added that they have always maintained that the Uniform Civil Code should also not be implemented.

However, the BJP has time and again reiterated that Article 370 will be scrapped one the BJP comes into power. BJP President Shah had said that after forming the Government in New Delhi, they will remove Article 370 of the Indian Constitution.
Moreover, Narendra Modi had said that those who who say that Kashmir will secede from India if Article 370 goes don’t deserve Indian Citizenship.
