JAMMU, Aug 11: Senior members of the J&K Freedom Fighters Association have sought to know that why the Kashmiri leaders were afraid of the PIL on Article 35A of Constitution and were  they  talking about un-rest in the J&K on this question even as the matter was under consideration of the Supreme Court
In a joint statement, the chairman J&K Freedom Fighters Association, B L Gupta, president Ved Gandotra, vice-president Tej Ram Dogra, president Shri Ram Sena, Rajiv Mahajan, president Karanti Dal  Pritam Sharma, S  Jagjit Singh and S  Gajan Singh, have flayed the apprehensions of the Kashmir based leaders that the sky would fall if the Section 35A is  touched.
“What more these leaders expect when they have already converted a “Heaven” into a “living hell” with their deeds and by their vicious speeches and tried hard to provoke the Kashmiri folk on communal lines and took every initiative to break the brotherhood between Kashmiri Hindus and Muslims,” they said.
The members further alleged that these leaders asked the Kashmiri youth to cross the   border and come with guns and the separatists invited the Pakistani terrorists and paid the local terrorists with Hawala money, which they  got from different agencies of the world, only to crush the common Kashmiri, who wanted to live a happy prosperous and peaceful life.
“The scrapping of Article 35A would pave a way for the common citizen of the State, for jobs, openness and chances to work fearlessly in every nook and corner of the country,” the members said and asserted that the abrogation of 35A would open flood gates of prosperity, when the big companies would invest in the State and the big industrial houses would try to give job to every hand.
The members further said that the common Kashmiri knows the designs of these leaders but due to fear of gun, which these leaders have imported from across the border, they were not expressing their anguish. “But let the guns stop, they added, the Kashmiri folk would throw them out of the State and work for a peaceful heavenly State.
