Panaji, Aug 5 (IANS): Although the Congress has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party of "murdering democracy" by revoking Article 370 and 35A and bifurcating the state of Jammu and Kashmir, former Chief Minister and Goa Congress MLA Pratapsingh Rane on Monday hailed it as a "good decision".
"I think it is very good, because nation should be as a whole united and should have common laws," Rane told reporters on the sidelines of the ongoing Monsoon session of the Goa Assembly.
Rane is the seniormost member of the state Assembly and has been a legislator for nearly 50 years.
