NC's unconstitutional actions may delay restoration of statehood, warns BJP

Early Times Report

Jammu, Nov 8: Amid the ongoing tussle between the National Conference and BJP on the issue of a resolution passed in the Legislative Assembly, Leader of the Opposition Sunil Sharma today cautioned such “undemocratic and unconstitutional” action of the ruling party would create hurdles in the restoration of statehood.
“Everybody in Jammu and Kashmir has been demanding statehood and the Union Government is seriously considering fulfilling this demand but I am afraid that recent action of the ruling party in the Legislative Assembly would delay restoration of the statehood”, Sunil Sharma said while interacting with media persons.
Sharma made these remarks while condemning, what he alleged, the biased action of the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly Abdul Rahim Rather.
Within minutes after holding a parallel assembly session, the BJP on Friday warned that the party would never hesitate to form a parallel government in the Union Territory.
Interacting with media persons after holding a parallel assembly session, Leader of the Opposition in the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly, Sunil Sharma, issued a strong warning on Friday, stating that his party might consider forming a parallel government if the current administration’s conduct does not change.
During a press briefing with fellow MLAs like Sham Lal Sharma, Sunil Sharma accused the Speaker of being biased, aligning with a particular party, and engaging in unconstitutional behaviour.
Sharma pointed out that their leaders wanted to discuss the government’s promises and the Lieutenant Governor’s initiatives. However, the National Conference (NC) presented a resolution opposing Parliament’s August 5, 2019, decision, which Sharma described as promoting separatist sentiments.
He expressed frustration that the Speaker publicly framed the resolution as a demand for restoring Article 370, despite Parliament and the Supreme Court’s final stance on the matter.
“I challenge Omar Abdullah to point to any reference in the Indian Constitution about J&K’s special status. If he can prove it, I’ll step down from politics,” Sharma stated, adding that Article 370 was a temporary provision now permanently removed.
Sharma argued that the NC’s push for special status is linked to a history of violence, citing instances such as the killing of civilians and leaders. “They don’t want tourism, only street violence, which we in the BJP will not allow,” he declared.
He mentioned that BJP MLAs held a parallel assembly in the Assembly lawns after being escorted out, emphasizing that this action should not be dismissed. If the government’s approach doesn’t change, he warned, a parallel administration could be established in Jammu and Kashmir.
