NEW DELHI, Sept 14: Members Parliament of Jammu and Kashmir National Conference (JKNC) today sought discussion on the situation of J&K in the Parliament during the current session citing the unprecedented situation in the region in wake of the unilateral, unconstitutional and undemocratic rescinding of Articles 370 and 35A.
The party’s MPs including Dr Farooq Abdullah, Muhammad Akbar Lone and Hasnain Masoodi said that that the last year GoI decision of shearing the erstwhile state of J&K of its constitutional position and its division and downgrading into two union territories has resulted in an unprecedented situation in the entire region.
They asserted that the measures taken by GoI, besides giving a lie to the sovereign commitments of the country to the people of J&K have pushed the entire region into a precarious situation. “Post 5th of August 2019; there has been a surge in the incidents of violence and skirmishes on LOC and LAC almost on daily basis,” they maintained.
They said there has been no thaw in violence related incidents inside J&K as well and the situation is nowhere near to what was promised while abrogating the state’s constitutional. But contrary to its claims, the industries, handicrafts, tourism, and other vital sectors of the entire region are reeling under huge losses, the MPs said.
