| Do away with special status: Chaman | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT JAMMU, Nov 3: Though the elections are part of democratic process but in Jammu and Kashmir every election is having great significance because of being linked with the strengthening or weakening of the spirit of nationalism said Prof Chaman Lal Gupta senior BJP leader while addressing a meeting of party activists of West Mandal of Jammu city today. The BJP leader maintained that the elections also provide an opportunity to punish those who have been responsible for injustices to them and not keeping up the promises made in the earlier polls. Dealing at length with the problem of secessionism and other such like issues including the menace of terrorism, Prof. Gupta said the root cause of all these maladies has been the so-called Special Status granted to Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370 of the Indian Constitution as a Temporary measure but this still existed even after expiry of so many years because of the communal mindset of certain elements who have been taking advantage of the follies of the Congress leadership. Because of the presence of Article 370 which has given birth to the separate constitution, the problems of refugees are still hanging fire and Pakistan had been taking advantage of the situation in creating problems cross border terror, he maintained. |
