| PDP out to dilute 'special status' of JK: Rather | | | Early Times Reporter
Jammu | Feb 14
Leader of Opposition Abdul Rahim Rather has said that Peoples Democratic Party is determined to erode the special status of Jammu and Kashmir and change the demography of state, thereby destroying the character of the state.
Condemning the statement of PDP leader and Deputy Chief Minister Muzaffar Hussain Baig, National Conference leader said that PDP is hoodwinking the people of state with their slogans of self-rule, while they have a sinister design to get the capitalist from all over the country and settle them in Kashmir thereby uprooting the state subject and depriving them of there livelihood.
He said that Baig was the one who advised Governor Jagmohan, then as advocate general to revoke Article 370 and when they did not succeed in there machinations, they are now finding ways and means to somehow erode the constitutional position of the state by compromising the interests of the state subjects.
Rather said, "earlier also PDP coalition government made an effort to bring outsiders of the state in the garb of promoting tourism but the move was scuttled by the vociferous opposition of the National Conference", he regretted that 'Transfer of Property Act' enacted by the PDP government, as it has laid the foundation for diluting the constitutional status of the Jammu and Kashmir state.
The leader of opposition said that Baig has no business to term the politicians fighting for the cause of people of Kashmir as 'fundamentalist' as every state subject is committed to uphold the sanctity of the constitutional guarantees provided to the state of Jammu and Kashmir.
Rather said that people like Baig are time server who propagate the agenda of their masters because to them, to remain in their good books is more important than the welfare of the state.
He said that National Conference will oppose any move from any quarter to dilute the constitutional status of Jammu and Kashmir irrespective of the consequences. |
