New Delhi,
BJP leader Subramanian Swamy on Monday advocated for a Hindu chief minister in Jammu and Kashmir currently under Governor’s rule.

Speaking to ANI, Swamy said, “There should be a Hindu Chief Minister (in Jammu and Kashmir). If the PDP (Peoples Democratic Party) has a Hindu or a Sikh member we can make that member the Chief Minister,” Swamy said.

The BJP leader argued that the tradition imposed by former prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru of having only a Muslim chief minister in Jammu and Kashmir would not be accepted.

“The tradition imposed by Nehru that there would only be a Muslim CM in Jammu and Kashmir will not be tolerated,” he said.
