Appeal people to start agitation if SC delivers anti-Kashmir verdict
Srinagar, Oct 29 : Joint resistance leadership comprising of Syed Ali Geelani, Mirwaiz Molvi Omer Farooq and Mohammad Yasin Malik asked people to launch mass agitation if the Supreme Court delivers verdict against the interests and aspiration of people of state, saying that any move to tinker with state subject law will create Palestine like situation.
Resistance leaders in a joint statement asked people to be ready for protest against any amendment or change in the State Subject laws.
They said the plan to tinker with the Article 35 A, which gives special rights and privileges to the natives of Jammu and Kashmir, is a conspiracy to create a Palestine like situation in the state.
JRL said the conspiracy has been hatched to change the demography of the Muslim majority state and added if the state-subject law is removed or any amendment introduced, people from other states of India will purchase land in Jammu and Kashmir and a Palestine like situation will arise and added that the people in the state would resist the “conspiracy” tooth and nail.
Joint leadership appealed the lawyers, writers, scholars and other respected members of society to make people aware of the consequences of proposed repealing of state-subject law, and urged them to make every possible effort to reach out to the international community to apprise them about the horrifying situations in the state and its disputed status.
”We will safeguard the integrity and special status of the state at any cost,” JRL stated, saying the BJP regime is working to sabotage the referendum process in the state.They also urged the pro-India politicians to join the pro-freedom ranks and play their role in resolving this long-pending issue.
In their statement the JRL said the plan to tinker with Article 35A was a well thought out ploy to end the special status of the state. The concern over Article 35A shown by pro- Indian parties was mere rhetoric and gimmick, they added.
Attacking the PDP for its “failure” over
Article 35A, JRL called the party an ally of the RSS and the PDP-BJP alliance as an unholy nexus.
Syed Ali Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq
and Mohammad Yasin Malik reiterated that If any attempt was made to change, alter or modify this law people from all corners of state will come on roads and resist such move.
JRL said that we are in close contact with religious leaders, civil societies, transporters, businessmen, students, lawyers and other groups, saying they will be taken on board and a special delegation has been formulated to make a consensus after seeking their suggestions in this regard.
They reiterated their appeal asking people to be ready and added we are watching the developments and soon a line of action and programme will be announced for people. (KNS)
