He said it was a long-awaited measure that removing the special status, accorded to Jammu and Kashmir, under Article 370, which was a key demand, voiced by late Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa in the Rajya Sabha in 1984.

''I take this opportunity, to heartily congratulate, the Prime Minister and Mr Amit Shah for the daring and historic achievement of removing the Article 370, of the Constitution," he said.

Panneerselvam said he was confident that this extremely significant politico-constitutional measure, will, not only strengthen, the unity and integrity, of India but also, reinforce federalism, by placing, all States on an equal footing.
