Srinagar: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday asked the Central government to come clean on who are the "stakeholders" it was talking about on the contentious issue of revocation of Article 370 of the Constitution.

His comments came a day after Minister of State in the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) Jitendra Singh stirred up a controversy by declaring the new government has started the process for repealing Article 370, which grants special status to Jammu and Kashmir within the Indian republic. 

Speaking to journalists here on Wednesday, Abdullah said: "We will oppose the move tooth and nail. Since it is the minister of state PMO talking and hence it is a policy matter. They (central government) must come clean and share who are the stakeholders they have talked to."
