| Issue of Article 370 is sacrosanct, its demand will never die: Sajad Lone | | |  Early Times Report
SRINAGAR, Dec 19: J&K Peoples Conference President Sajad Gani Lone on Sunday asserted that the issue of Article 370 is sacrosanct and its demand will never die.
"The chapter of Article 370, contrary to what Delhi thinks, is not closed, We will fight for whatever has been snatched from the people of Jammu and Kashmir unconstitutionally", Lone said addressed a gathering of workers in Shangus in south Kashmir. Lone started his public outreach programme with the rally at Shangus.
"It is not subservient to our raising of the issue. The chapter of Article 370, contrary to what Delhi thinks, is not closed. We will speak truthfully to the people about the status of Article 370. Our stand on 370 is clear. We will fight for whatever has been snatched from the people of Jammu and Kashmir unconstitutionally", he added
Sajad further said that if Delhi has been consistent on anything, it has been its consistency for disdain and condemnation for the people of Kashmir.
"We have not seen any let up in the last so many decades in their attitude. Erosions started the moment Article 370 was enacted in the 1950's and ended with its abrogation in 2019. Not a single year or a single month has passed since 1989 when the people of Kashmir have not been mercilessly killed or jailed. The people of Kashmir have been the victims of Delhi's excesses for decades now irrespective of which party was in power. Let our memories not fail us", he added.
Accusing the traditional parties of being hand in glove with Delhi, Sajad said that in lieu of "political space", these parties have irreversibly damaged the cause of the people of Kashmir.
He said, people of Kashmir need to understand the concept of political space. Either the traditional parties are actually feeling the pain of the people and advocating for their rights or they are a part of a grand theater which is scripted, directed and produced by Delhi.
Without naming any political party, Sajad alleged that "It is a mutually beneficial deal between Delhi and the two families. In their private meetings, they tell Delhi to do whatever you want to do in Kashmir, kill whoever you want to kill, beat and arrest whoever you want to but give us the freedom to cry, to mourn".
Lashing out at the administration for choking and stifling the voices of the people and creating a pressure cooker like situation in Kashmir, Sajad said that those at the helm are spreading poison for our future generations. |
