People in Valley demand restoration of Article 370 and J&K statehood: Nazir Ahmad Laway

The Hindu  

A year after he was thrown out of the Rajya Sabha for tearing a copy of the Constitution, Peoples Democratic Party parliamentarian Nazir Ahmad Laway says people in his constituency are still deprived of development, employment and other benefits promised by the Centre. Mr. Laway and Mir Momammad Fayaz, the two MPs from Kashmir Valley representing the PDP in the Rajya Sabha, were marshalled out of the House on August 5, 2019 when Home Minister Amit Shah moved two Bills to revoke the special status of J&K and downsize the State into two Union Territories of J&K and Ladakh. “Wherever I go, people demand that Article 370 and J&K statehood be restored ….they say they should see development as promised,” he said. We demand that the land laws as agreed to by the Maharaja of Kashmir should be implemented.” J&K had its own land acquisition Act enacted in 1935 and with the revocation of the special status the Right to Fair Compensation Transparency in Land Acquisition Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 is now applicable in the newly created UT ensuring four times compensation. Home Minister Amit Shah had told a delegation from J&K last year that “only government land would be used to establish industries, hospitals and educational institutions” and “nobody’s land would be taken away”.
