The DMK on Monday strongly condemned the Centre's move to revoke Article 370, which gave special status to Jammu and Kashmir, saying it was a "murder of democracy".
DMK president M K Stalin said the measures should be held back till a democratically-elected government assumed office in the state.
Speaking to reporters at the party headquarters here, Stalin said the Centre had gone ahead with its proposal without getting the concurrence of the people of Jammu and Kashmir and called it a "murder of democracy."
