Hakeem Yaseen warns against divisive politics

Excelsior Correspondent

SRINAGAR, Jan 13: People’s Democratic Front (PDF) President and former Minister Hakeem Mohammad Yaseen on Tuesday said that instead of indulging in divisive and region-centric politics, all political parties must work collectively for the overall progress of Jammu and Kashmir and strongly demand the restoration of full and dignified Statehood.
In a statement issued to the press, Hakeem Yaseen said that the politics of division has already caused immense damage to Jammu and Kashmir. “Because of repeated political mistakes, Ladakh was separated, and now some fringe elements in Jammu are raising demands for a separate Jammu. Such moves are unacceptable and will not be tolerated as they threaten the unity, integrity, and historical identity of Jammu and Kashmir,” he said.
He cautioned that such divisive narratives badly affect the image of Jammu and Kashmir both at the national and international level, and weaken its political and social fabric.
“These developments are not only harmful for Jammu and Kashmir but are also not good for the country as a whole,” he added.
