JAMMU, Oct 26: The Central Committee of CPI (M) has demanded immediate restoration of the statehood to Jammu & Kashmir, release of all political detenues, ending the curbs on media and stopping the indiscriminate arrests of people, particularly youth in J&K.
The Central Committee of CPI(M) which was in session for three days at New Delhi, in a press release has stated that the Union Home Minister visited Jammu & Kashmir under massive military fortification, detaining hundreds of people.
Shah made preposterous claims that with the abrogation of Article 370 and dissolution of the erstwhile state of J&K, the situation has improved.
The recent spate of targeted killings of civilians has created a situation drawing parallels to what prevailed in the 1990s. This is alarming.
Unless people’s participation with the restoration of the democratic political process is established, it would be difficult to combat this rising extremist violence.
The Central Committee urged the Supreme Court to begin the consideration of the petitions before it, including those by CPI(M), challenging the Constitutional validity of the abrogation of Articles 370 and 35-A of the Indian Constitution.
