Terming Article 35 A as unconstitutional the representatives of the organization including Lt Gen PK Hoon its advisor and Sandeep Kulkarni its president have asked the people to join hands with their NGO to launch a decisive battle in this regard.
They said the time of holding negotiations over the issue has gone as the people of the State and country over last 68 years have suffered a lot on account of this Article and now it is time for taking the fight to streets for its abrogation.
They said this article has been the cause of present mess in the State and helping the disruptive forces to raise their heads. Hoisting of ISIS and Pakistani flags in Kashmir Valley is the result of this Article, they added.
``There will be no dialogue on the issue and our organization will launch a mass movement for the abrogation of Article 35 (A)’’, said Lt.Gen. P K Hoon. He said ``We the Citizens’’ a NGO has also started a legal struggle and achieved a lot by getting a notice served to Central as well as State Government from the Supreme Court of India seeking reply.
He said since August 16 last year both the State and Central governments have failed to submit the requisite reply so our organization has decided to take the struggle to general masses. Seeking the support of the people all over the country in this struggle, he urged the masses of J&K to join the national parties and associations for nation-wide protests.
He said in the first phase signature campaign will be launched for submission of a memorandum to Prime Minister, Narendra Modi demanding abrogation of Article 35 (A).
Expressing grave concern over unfurling of Pakistani and ISIS flags in Kashmir, Lt Gen Hoon termed it dangerous and asked the Government to act against these elements. He said the State should have such a government which will forcefully act against the elements unfurling ISIS and Pak flags in India.
Sandeep Kukarni warned the anti national elements to stop taking political benefits on Kashmir issue. He said holding protests in Kashmir against the abolition of the Article 35 (A) will be strongly resisted.
He said a meeting will also be held with prominent citizens of the State at Jammu to chalk out strategy for nation-wide protests.
He turned down the reports that hisorganization has any connection with J&K Media Centre or RSS and termed all reports in this regard totally baseless. He said his organization is working independently and it is wedded to abrogation of Article 35 (A) of the Indian Constitution.
