“Keeping the situation of J-K in mind, the government has invoked certain Sections for detention of some leaders there. As the situation improves and things noramlise, everybody will be allowed to do their political activity. We are all wanting the situation in Jammu and Kashmir to become so very conducive for normal political activity to resume,” Madhav told ANI.

The nullification of Article 370 last year stripped Jammu & Kashmir of its special status. It resulted in a communications blackout and a lockdown. Hundreds of politicians and activists were detained to prevent protests against the move.
