NEW DELHI – Welfare Party of India on Wednesday denounced the lies of Modi government that abrogation of Article 370 was done for the development of Kashmiris and called it betrayal and a blot in the history of India.
National President of the party Dr SQR Ilyas rebuked the claim made by Modi government that abrogation was done to develop the valley and help the kashmiris to integrate with the rest of India.
He said that the people of Kashmir and th elected representatives and all the stakeholders should have been taken into confidence but instead the entire valley was put under a months-long lockdown without any internet connections and the government arrested thousands of Kashmiris including the activists and leaders which further alienated, humiliated and created a lot of mistrust among Kashmiris.
He said the state of J&K was divided and converted into two Union Territory
and now a year later Modi government passed new domicile laws granting rights to non Kashmiris to vote and buy land there which is robbing the rights and privileges of the local citizens belonging to the valley and said this is an exercise with an aim of delimitation by creating new parliamentary and assembly constituencies to change the demography in the valley is a great injustice to the only erstwhile Muslim majority state.
He said the Modi government has economically crippled the valley as the losses to the J&K economy since 5 August 2019 is estimated at Rs 40,000 crores.
He urged the Supreme Court to deliver justice to the multiple petitions before the Supreme Court to decide on the constitutional validity on the abrogation of Article 370.
He asked Modi government to stop issuing domicile certificates to “outsiders with the view to change demographic character of J&K build bridges and connect to the people of Kashmir and not cause a permanent damage for short term goal of electoral benefits.
