People angry over J&K's bifurcation, want restoration of statehood: Cong leader
10/12/2020 12:20:37 AM
EARLY TIMES REPORT
Jammu, Oct 11: Congress leader Rajni Patil on Sunday claimed there was widespread anger and resentment among the people of Jammu and Kashmir over the "arbitrary decision" of the BJP-led government to "disband and downgrade" the historically important state into two Union Territories.
"The decision of the BJP government to disband and downgrade the state into UTs was arbitrary, unilateral, unjust and against the wishes of the people of the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir," Patil told reporters.
She was referring to the abrogation of the special status of Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370 of the constitution and its bifurcation into two Union Territories by the BJP-led government at the Centre on August 5, 2019.
"During my interactions with different sections of society over the last two days here, I found great anger among them over the downgrading of the historically important and socio-culturally rich Dogra state apart from being deprived of protection to jobs and lands," Patil, who was flanked by party leaders including state Congress chief G A Mir, said.
Patil met office bearers, former legislators and different district and frontal units of the party and would leave for Srinagar on Monday as part of the second leg of her tour before returning to Delhi on October 14.
She is likely to meet Lt Governor Manoj Sinha to take up various issues of the people.
