‘Division of State Unacceptable’: NC, PDP, Congress Vow to Fight for Restoration of Article 370 in J&K

News 18  

Kashmir's main political forces have decided to close flanks and fight for restoration of Article 370 and 35A that were repealed by the BJP-led government more than a year ago. National Conference chief Farooq Abdullah, People's Democratic Party chief Mehbooba Mufti, Congress head GA Mir and Sajjad Lone-led People's Conference have vowed to fight for the restoration of the two special articles that were scrapped by the Parliament in August last year. Calling the August 5, 2019 decision "unfortunate", the leaders said the move unrecognisably changed the relationship between J&K and New Delhi. The leaders noted that the series of measures undertaken on August 5 last year were grossly unconstitutional and in reality measures of disempowerment and a challenge to the basic identity of the people of J&K. While expressing gratitude to the people of India, the political parties, the intelligentsia and other civil society groups for opposing the unconstitutional measures of August 5, 2019 and ever since standing with the people of J&K in this crises, the leaders thanked those who offered their unstinted support to our just cause till the unconstitutional measures of August 5, 2019 are undone and the special status of J&K restored.
