NEW DELHI: The CPI today pitched for holding internal dialogue with all stakeholders in Jammu and Kashmir to reverse the “erosion” of Article 370, which grants special status to the State.
The Left party also suggested giving autonomous structures within the State, a process, which it said, will entail changes in Constitutional and legal scheme.
In a statement, issued after conclusion of its two-day national executive meeting here yesterday, the CPI asked BJP to “not politicise” Uri attack and surgical strike by the army and also decided to work towards defeating the saffron party in forthcoming polls in five states including Uttar Pradesh and Punjab.
“The internal dialogue with all stakeholders in Jammu and Kashmir should proceed on the basis of reversing the erosion of Article 370. The three regions of the State: Jammu, Kashmir Valley and Ladakh should have autonomous structures within the State.
“This will entail changes in the constitutional and legal scheme which can begin by revising the existing orders and laws. Ultimately, a fresh political framework should emerge,” the party said in the statement. (AGENCIES)
