Congress MP P. Chidambaram has described the revoking of Article 370 as a “black day” in the country's constitutional history. He was speaking in the Rajya Sabha after Home Minister Amit Shah announced the government's proposal to scrap Article 370 granting special status to Jammu & Kashmir. Chidambaram alleged that the government 'dismembered' Jammu and Kashmir by this move and cautioned that the idea of India was in 'grave danger'.
