Former Union Minister Prof. Saifuddin Soz on Tuesday said that the people of Jammu Kashmir, especially the people of Kashmir, have taken notice of the fact that the BJP leaders at the Centre have taken recourse to spreading untruth on the abrogation of Article 370 of the Constitution of India.
Soz said that these leaders, including Ministers Smriti Irani, Anurag Thakur and Jatinder Singh, perhaps feel that repeatedly speaking untruth could catch minds of Kashmiris and others. The fact is that the general run of Kashmiris denounces the statements of the BJP’s top brass to the effect that things had improved in Kashmir after abrogation of Article 370. These are white lies spoken by the BJP leaders.
The fact is that there is widespread anger in JK State on the abrogation of this Article. The people of the state can never ever compromise their position on the question of Internal Autonomy granted to the JK State through the Article 370 of the Constitution of India.
One thing is clear that the people of the state will continue their struggle for restoration of Autonomy, democratically and constitutionally.
Another thing is also certain that the relationship between the people of the state and the Union of India can never be smooth and cordial, unless the Internal Autonomy is restored to the state.
The people of the JK State will prove the fact that the will of the people is supreme and ultimately it is going to prevail.
