JFI rejects political solution demand: Hari Om 8/21/2016 11:07:08 PM Early Times Report Jammu Aug 21: Reacting to the memorandum which the Omar Abdullah-led NC-Congress-CPIM joint delegation submitted to Union President Pranab Mukharjee in New Delhi on Saturday, Jammu for India (JFI) on Sunday said that it was nothing but a memorandum of destruction and, hence, utterly unacceptable. "The document that the NC, the Congress, the CPI-M and other smaller and marginal Valley-based political groups submitted to President Mukharjee was nothing but a memorandum of destruction designed not only to drive J&K further away from India but also to force down the throat of the nationalist people of Jammu and Ladakh and internally-displaced Kashmiri Hindus the regressive ideology of Kashmiri leaders," said JFI convener Prof Hari Om here today in a press statement, adding that "it is utterly unacceptable". Prof Hari Om also rejected out-of-hand the suggestion of the Kashmiri delegation that the problem in Kashmir was political that needed to be addressed politically and said their suggestion, if accepted and given an effect to, would at once mean a sort of independence of J&K from India. J&K, Prof Hari Om said, already enjoyed a very special status within the Union under Article 370 of the Indian Constitution, and added that J&K is the solitary state in the country which has a separate constitution and a separate flag and which also enjoys residuary powers. "The Omar Abdullah-led Kashmiri delegation virtually urged the Union President to persuade the BJP-led NDA Government to recommend a dispensation that would be beyond Article 370. His claim that his delegation was representative in character and that it also included representatives from Jammu and Ladakh was nothing but a tale of travesty and a desperate attempt of a desperate leader to mislead and hoodwink the nation," said Prof Hari Om, adding that the people of Jammu and Ladakh have not given any Kashmiri leader and the defeated Jammu leaders power of attorney to decide their fate. Prof Hari Om said the JFI is the nation's voice in the state and that New Delhi cannot go against its wishes to further appease the already rather appeased Kashmiri leadership. "The JFI represents the nation in J&K. It is the voice of the nationalist people of the state and any attempt to bypass it shall be resisted with full force," declared Prof Hari Om, and added it was most unfortunate that a couple of Jammu-based Congress and NC leaders joined the Omar Abdullah-led delegation without realizing that their participation would be considered in Jammu and Ladakh outrageous. The JFI convener urged the Union President to throw the memorandum into dustbin like the Union Government threw the autonomy committee into dustbin.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
