| Opposition smells dangerous gameplan in much-touted real-estate summit | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Dec 27: Opposition parties have chided the Jammu and Kashmir government for organizing the much-touted real-estate summit at Jammu on Monday.
After pumping crores and crores of rupees for the publicity of the real-estate summit from the exchequer of the cash-starve government, the administration of Jammu and Kashmir claimed of attracting investment during the summit.
Launching a blistering attack on the J&K government, former Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti tweeted, "J&Ks special status was illegally revoked to dehumanize, dispossess and disempower the only Muslim majority state in India. GOIs brazen loot & sale of our resources shows that the sole motive is to annihilate our identity & change the demography".
Echoing in a similar voice, ex-Chief Minister Omar Abdullah tweeted, "once again the true intentions of the government are brought to the fore. While offering to secure the land, jobs, domicile laws, and identity of the people of Ladakh, J&K is being put up for sale. People of Jammu should beware, 'investors' will buy up land in Jammu long before Kashmir".
Apni Party chief Altaf Bukhari also raised a question on the intention of the government in organizing such an event by spending crores and crores of rupees on publicity.
"Efforts that aim at holistic development and job creation in Jammu and Kashmir are welcome but not at the cost of domicile laws that safeguard land and employment rights of its permanent residents", he said.
Bukhari said that Apni Party will never allow any such move that undermines the rights of the People of Jammu and Kashmir.
"Our Party will always welcome any efforts that will foster progress and prosperity in Jammu and Kashmir. But at the same time we are pledged to resist any plans that will do away with the exclusive rights of the people on their land and jobs," he remarked.
Taking a strong exception to the controversial agenda of the Jammu summit in which the term 'permanent resident of the State' has been omitted from the J&K Development Act, Bukhari said that the exclusion of this legal guarantee is totally unacceptable to the people of Jammu and Kashmir. |
