KATHUA, Apr 5: Founder president of Dogra Swabhiman Sangathan Choudhary Lal Singh today said that Article 370 and 35A have nothing to do with the development of the J&K but Kashmir centric parties and national parties are talking about these articles before election to divert from the real issues of the governance.
Lal Singh said this while addressing a series of meetings at different wards of Kathua and Nagri. He said that leaders of Kashmir who are saying that if Article 370 will be scrapped J&K will not be a part of India, they are forgetting that the parties like NC and PDP are not representing Jammu in the elections and therefore, they are no one to take decision or to speak on the integrity of J&K with India.
“But it is very unfortunate the Congress is also taking the support of these parties to win the elections, which means it is also supporting the demand of the separate Prime Minister of J&K,” he added. Criticizing statement of former Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti that relationship between the Union and State would be over if Article 370 of the Constitution is revoked, Lal Singh asserted that discussion on Article 370 and 35A comes in picture during the time of election and it is useless discussion.
The former Minister alleged that the national parties will never address the real issues of the State like opening of the six sets for the PoJK refuges, separate PSC and SSRB for the Jammu and Kashmir but they will go on discussing the Article 370 and 35A. “These articles has nothing to do with the development of the J&K but Kashmir centric parties and national parties will go on misleading the people and the people of Jammu will go on suffering under the rules of these parties,” he added.
