Union home minister Amit Shah's question on "who is responsible for partition" triggered a huge row in parliament during the debate on the bill to extend President's Rule in Jammu and Kashmir. The bill sailed through the Lok Sabha, but the argument over it was fierce and drew into its ambit partition and Article 356, under which central Rule can be imposed on a state.
In a scathing attack against the Congress, Mr Shah said it was not the BJP but the Congress who used the Article 356 as a political tool to dismiss the existing government in the state.
