He said after the sacrifice of Dr Mookerjee the process of J&K integration began and today 264 of the total 394 Articles of the Constitution are applicable on J&K. In those days it had been decided to hoist the Indian tricolour only at two occasions and now the tricolour is hoisted on every occasion.
