Maharashtra deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Tuesday said the abrogation of Article 370 was a step towards achieving the dream of 'Akhand Bharat’ or pre-Partition India. He also invoked the Jewish tradition of yearning for return to Israel while talking about the observance of Partition Horrors Remembrance Day.

The BJP leader was speaking at an event organised to launch the 'Har Ghar Tiranga’ initiative here in the presence of Lt Gen (retd) Rajendra Nimbhorkar who played a key role in the 2016 'surgical strike’ carried out by the Indian Army to destroy terrorist camps across the Line of Control.
