RSS general secretary Bhaiji Joshi, who was accompanying Togadia, also took similar line on the issue of Article 370 saying that the ball will now in the court of the new Jammu and Kashmir Assembly after the results of the ongoing election are declared and the new government is formed. “We will accept the decision taken in the J&K Assembly,” he said.
