| CPI(M) demands restoration of Article 370 | | | Early Times Report
Srinagar, Apr 17: Communist Party of India-Marxist CPI(M) on Sunday sought the restoration of the Article 370 during the 23rd CPI-(M) Congress held at Kannur in Kerala.
The party demands restoration of the constitutional rights of the people of the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir and an immediate halt to the “hard-line security and law and order approach being pursued currently”, according to a resolution adopted during the party’s Congress.
It said the problem of Jammu and Kashmir is essentially a political issue and must be resolved through political process.
“Without initiating a credible dialogue process there can be no significant progress towards restoration of peace in Jammu and Kashmir,” the resolution said.
CPI-M appeals to all the secular democratic forces of the country to raise their voice in defense of the legitimate constitutional rights of the people of Jammu and Kashmir as this intractable problem has a vital bearing on the federal, democratic and secular nature of the country.
“The brazen and unconstitutional assault on the special status of Jammu and Kashmir continues to be accompanied by the large scale arrests, particularly of youth, and intimidation and harassment of mainstream political leaders through central agencies of Enforcement Directorate (ED), Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), National Investigation Agency (NIA) and others,” the party alleged.
Arbitrarily dismantling the constitution of Jammu and Kashmir has resulted in seriously damaging the relationship between the people of Jammu and Kashmir and the Centre. It has also created a large political void, further deepening the uncertainties in the region,” it added.
Despite the fact that these orders and the J&K reorganization Act is being challenged before the Supreme Court, the central government has, inter alia, taken some irreversible actions by constituting a delimitation commission, amending the Jammu and Kashmir development Act and the closing down of institutions of the J&K state women’s commission, State accountability commission, State consumer protection commission and the human rights commission, the resolution read. |
