Awami National Conference (ANC) President Begum Khalida Tuesday demanded restoration of the Constitutional status and revocation of August 05, 2019 repeal of Reorganization Act and other laws that stripped the state of J&K of its special constitutional status and downgrading it into two Union Territories.
In a statement issued to the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), ANC President said that the decision to withdraw the three controversial farm laws after justifying them resulting into outrage throughout the country with 800 farmers getting killed and huge loss to the property & shattering the already crumpled economy once again proved that the power of the people was supreme. The politics of arrogance, communal divide & hatred has no place in the country, she said.
Begum Khalida Shah impressed upon the Prime Minister to introspect his August 05, 2019 decisions.
The ANC chief reminded the Prime Minister that the August 05, 2019 decisions, like farm laws have resulted in destruction, uncertainty and large-scale discontent and as admitted by the Prime Minister himself, widened the gulf between people of Jammu, Kashmir, Ladakh and the rest of the Country.
Restoration of the August 04, 2019 position and facilitating internal dialogue amongst the basic party & principal sufferers of the Kashmir imbroglio, the people of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh on both sides of the line of Control and initiation of a wider dialogue between India & Pakistan is a must for durable peace in the region, she said.
“We expect political parties and civil society, Kashmir watchers at the local & national level to support us in this just cause by extended unwavering support in the same spirit as done in the farmer’s struggle,” she said—(KNO)
