Jammu, July 14: After ignoring the Jammu region, both politically and economically, the National Conference now realized the importance of this region of the Union Territory to establish a strong popular government in Jammu and Kashmir.
Opposing the decision of the Ministry of Home Affairs to amend the J&K Reorganization Act, Omar sought the support of the people of the Jammu region.
“The people of J&K, especially Jammu, will have to vote against the nefarious intentions of the BJP-led NDA government which wants to disempower the people of J&K.
A strong government in J&K with a solid mandate is the only answer to this order because it’s going to be a tough fight to get our statehood back”, Omar Abdullah posted on his social media account while reacting to a report regarding powers of the Legislative Assembly of the J&K.
In the report it was mentioned that J&K Legislative Assembly may make laws with respect to any of the matters enumerated in the State List except “Police” and “Public Order” and the Concurrent List in the Seventh Schedule to the Constitution of India.
The Concurrent List includes education, marriages, Omar Abdullah has sought the support of the people of the Jammu region.
Strong government in J&K with a solid mandate is the only way to get our statehood back.
For years together, the NC and other Kashmir-centric parties have ignored the Jammu region in all spheres of life.
Raking up discrimination and step-motherly treatment in Jammu by the Kashmir-centric parties, the BJP has successfully strengthened its base in the region.
Notably for years together, the National Conference and other Kashmir-centric parties have ignored the Jammu region in all spheres of life. It is widely alleged that the successive political regimes discriminated against the Jammu region both economically and politically to politically dominate the erstwhile state.
Raking up discrimination and step-motherly treatment in the Jammu region by the Kashmir-centric parties, the BJP has successfully strengthened its base in this part of the Union Territory.
“Another indicator that elections are around the corner in J&K. This is why a firm commitment laying out the timeline for restoration of full, undiluted statehood for J&K is a prerequisite for these elections.
The people of J&K deserve better than powerless, rubber stamp CM who will have to beg the Lieutenant Governor to get his/her peon appointed,” Omar Abdullah earlier posted on his social media account on Saturday. |
