JAMMU, Nov 3: Jammu West Assembly Movement (JWAM) has claimed that repealing eleven land laws in J&K is a conspiracy to weaken the statehood demand. In a press conference here today JWAM leader, Sunil Dimple said that changing of 11 lands laws is not acceptable to the people of J&K.
He told reporters that clarifications given by the Government spokesperson about new land laws was nothing but jugglery of bureaucratic words.
The JWAM leader said if there was some shortcoming in the already existing lands laws, same was required to be removed by necessary amendments but introduction of new land laws to allow outsiders to buy land in J&K is not acceptable.
He said Maharaja Hari Singh and other forefathers of J&K were great visionaries to debar outsiders to buy land in J&K so that identity of our people and their cultures are not invaded.
Dimple said the people of erstwhile J&K State never demanded amendment in the exiting land laws nor any political party, organisation or groups has ever raised any such demand.
He demanded details from the Government that how many outsiders have established their industrial units in J&K, how many have been allotted land but have not established their units, how many have run away after drawing benefits of various industrial policies, how many locals have been given employment by the outsiders in their industrial units etc.
He reiterated his demand of complete Statehood to J&K.
