New Delhi: Dr Karan Singh, senior Congress leader and son of Jammu and Kashmir erstwhile Maharaja Hari Singh, welcomed the decision of the Supreme Court upholding the abrogation of Article 370 and urged everyone to "accept the inevitable."

"A section of people in J&K who will not be happy with this judgment, my sincere advice is that they should accept the inevitable...Now my suggestion is that they should turn their energies towards fighting the next elections..." Karan Singh said further.
