New Delhi: The Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM) on Tuesday described the decision to abrogate Article 370 of the Constitution as historic and leading towards 'One Nation One Constitution.'
ASSOCHAM President BK Goenka said the government's bold move under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi will strengthen India's sovereignty, and pave the way for peace and development in Jammu and Kashmir.
