Why supporters of Art 35-A lack guts to protect it legally? | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, July 29: The so-called Joint Resistance Leadership, comprising all anti-India and radical groups, has called for shutdown in Jammu and Kashmir on August 5 and 6 to protest against a "politically-motivated move" to abrogate Article 35-A which is under the consideration of Supreme Court. Instead of fighting legal battle in the Court of Law, separatists and main stream leaders of Kashmir Valley giving threats and instigating people against Article 35-A, whose legal validity has been challenged by some groups belonging to weaker sections especially Dalits. The bigger question is "If Kashmir based leaders, be it main stream or separatists are of the view that legally this article is correct why there are afraid of fighting legal battle". It appears that Kashmir based leaders and parties are very much aware that this anti-Dalit and anti-women Act is a fraud with the constitution that's why they are hesitating to protect it legally. Meanwhile Hurriyat (M) chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq today once again warned Supreme Court against giving any decision against Article 35-A. "We want to make it clear to Government of India any and every attempt made at changing the demographic nature of the state will be stiffly resisted. In touch with all segments including legal fraternity, traders, civil society, academia. There is complete unanimity and cohesion among all with regard to resisting & fighting this serious assault together. 5th and 6th of August a complete protest strike will be observed throughout (Jammu and Kashmir), people will register their total disapproval &resistance to this politically motivated move," said the Mirwaiz, in a tweet. He also warned of an agitation of the Article 35 -A, which defines permanent residents of the state, was tinkered with. "A mass agitation of hitting and occupying streets will be launched if any tinkering with 35A is allowed to take place under a legal garb, the consequences of which will be entirely on those perpetuating such mischievous ploys against people of J&K," he said. |
