Srinagar
In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, a number of political parties on Saturday said that abrogation of Article 370 changed the relationship between Jammu and Kashmir and Delhi.
The joint statement signed by the leaders of all major political parties including National Conference, Congress and PDP said their politics will be subservient to the sacred goal of reverting to the status of J&K as it existed on August 4, 2019.
“We are committed to strive for the restoration of Articles 370 and 35A, the Constitution of J&K and the restoration of the State and any division of the State is unacceptable to us. We unanimously reiterate that there can be ‘nothing about us without us’, said Dr. Farooq Abdullah (JKNC), Mehbooba Mufti (JKPDP), GA Mir (JKPCC), M Y Tarigami of CPI (M) and Muzaffar Shah (JKANC) in the joint statement issued after a marathon meeting in Srinagar today.
Moreover, in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, people staged forceful protest demonstrations in Srinagar and other areas against the blasphemous act by a BJP leader and hooliganism of cow vigilantes in the territory.
Call for the demonstrations was given by the All Parties Hurriyat Conference. As soon as the Juma prayers culminated, people in large numbers took to the streets in Srinagar, Badgam, Ganderbal, Pulwama, Islamabad, Shopian, Kulgam, Baramulla, Kupwara, Bandipora and other areas and held demonstrations and rallies against the sacrilegious remarks of the BJP stalwart, Satpal Sharma, and thrashing of the two Muslims by RSS hooligans. They raised high-pitched pro-Islam, pro-freedom and anti-India slogans.
The protesters were holding banners and placards reading slogans like “Ready to die – But not ready to accept disrespect of our Prophet (PBUH)” and “Our Prophet (PBUH) our honour”.
They demanded awarding of exemplary punishment to the culprit so that no one could dare to indulge in such profane acts in future. The protesters were led by Hurriyat leaders including Umar Aadil Dar.—KMS
