| Formation of Peoples Alliance: Kashmir centric dynasts again take Jammu ‘for granted’ | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Oct 15: Two days after release of PDP president Mehbooba Mufti, signatories of ‘Gupkar Declaration’ on Thursday named this group as ‘Peoples Alliance’ to intensify the struggle for restoration of pre August 5, 2019 position in J&K.
Although signatories of this ‘Declaration’ claimed that it is amalgam of various parties jointly striving to restore the rights and dignity of people of J&K, Jammu is missing from the ‘Alliance’ because these parties with Kashmir centric policies have joined this new group.
Kashmir centric parties be it NC, PDP, PC, ANC or others always ignored their Jammu based leaders in policy making. While there is no mass base PDP leader in Jammu, NC has many but party leadership preferred to avoid them. It appears these parties have once again taken Jammu for granted as these groups have been pursuing same practice since 1947.
Sources said that Jammu based leaders of these parties were also hesitating to become part of the event because it will have dangerous ramification in Jammu region where people have strongly opposed this ‘Declaration’ after Pakistan supported the same. Even the Congress, which was part of the Gupkar meeting held on August 4, 2019, was conspicuously absent from today's event in which other signatories were present. On August 4, 2019, J&K Pradesh Congress chief, Ghulam Ahmed Mir was very much present in the meeting in which it was decided to jointly protect Article 370 and Article 35-A ‘at any cost’.
After the culmination of today’s meeting, Farooq Abdullah told media persons that this alliance was named as ‘People’s Alliance for Gupkar Declaration’
He added that it was a constitutional battle to assure the return of all the rights which people of J&K enjoyed before abrogation of Article 370.
While he demanded that they take into confidence the members from all regions of J&K including the Ladakh in the next meeting which will be held soon.
Signatories tried to down conspicuous absence of Ghulam Ahmed Mir and claimed that Mir wasn’t able to attend today’s meeting due to medical emergency and he had already conveyed signatories. |
