JAMMU, Dec 21: Panun Kashmir (PK) today said that in the light of December 16 judgment of Supreme Court of India, which upheld the applicability of Securitization and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interests (SARFFASI) Act to Jammu and Kashmir, it is most appropriate time to repeal Article 370 lock stock and barrel.
Talking to reporters here PK chairman, Dr Ajay Chrungoo and its convener, Dr Agnishekhar said the SC ruling  has once for all time , put all controversies arising out of the claims of the separatists and Pakistan regarding Constitutional relationship between Jammu and Kashmir State and the Union of India to rest.
They said repealing Article 370 will fulfill 67 year old dream of the Indian nation that J&K will be completely integrated into the India politically, constitutionally and economically for which till now 70,000 Indian soldiers have sacrificed their precious lives.
The SC judgment has reiterated the most fundamental and cardinal fact that J&K is an integral part of India and that the provisions of Article 370 embodied in the Constitution of India doesn’t in any respect recognize it as a separate entity, the PK leaders said.
They said the SC judgment has made it crystal clear that Constitution of J&K is subordinate to the Constitution of India and this is the only one expression of the authority of Indian State.
The PK leaders said that it should be clear to every person in the State and rest of the country as well as outside India that the State of India is individual and its territorial and political character is inviolable.
They condemned all attempts that describe the reiteration of the Constitutional reality of the State by the SC as a judicial route to undermine Article 370 and Article 35 –A. Such political forces have all through sought to wreck the State from within by undermining and violating the Constitution, Chrungoo and Agnishekhar added.
They said that PK wanted every body should realize that the exclusion of J&K State from the Constitutional organization of India on the basis of the Muslim majority character of its population is basically communal and has enabled Pakistan to extend the ambit of partition that formed the basis of its creation, to claim the State of J&K as its own territory.
They said creation of J&K as a separate Constitutional and political sphere has led to the Islamization of the State rendering 60 lakh Hindus, Sikh and Bhudhists to the servitude of Muslim dispensation. It has transformed the State into a spring board of Jihad in India and unleashed genocide and religious cleansing
operations in the Muslim majority areas in Jammu province too. Moreover it has paved the way for integration of the Jihad in J&K with the global Jihad seeking to create Muslim caliphate.
The PK leaders also reiterated their demand of dividing the State into four parts with creation of Union territory of Panun Kashmir on North East of river Jehlum in Kashmir Valley for rehabilitation of exiled Hindus of Kashmir.
