Renewal was must in anti people Article 35A – Now Done
Articles 370 and 35A were incorporated in the Indian Constitution on express demand and insistence of Jawaharlal Nehru and no once else. This was in spite of stiff opposition of many.
This was a result of the politics of appeasement started by Nehru. Over the years this Article has not only lost its relevance but has also started depriving the people of J&K of various rights and privileges enjoyed by other States.
It needs to be repeated once again that Article 35-A was incorporated into the Constitution through a presidential order on May 14, 1954, without any debate in Parliament.
Amid reports of widening rift between the PDP and BJP within the J&K Govt on peace talks with Pakistan and Hurriyat and the GST issue, the BJP along with Sangh Parivar today confronted Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti by dubbing Article 370 as anti-people and Article 35-A of the Indian Constitution as the “biggest constitutional fraud.” The Sangh Parivar, assembled on the death anniversary of Bharatiya Jana Sangh founder Dr Shyama Prasad Mukherjee to take on Mehbooba on the issues which are core to the saffron ideology.
Today a seminar was held under the aegis of Dr Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Research Foundation on “Jammu and Kashmir: The Present Scenario and Our Responsibilities and Duties.” Addressing the seminar, Krishna Gopal, sah, sarkaryavah (national joint general secretary) of the RSS, said both the Articles were result of the politics of appeasement and these were depriving people of J&K of various rights and privileges. Though the RSS leader did not mention name of any party, his message was clear that the Sangh Parivar would stick to its core agenda.
In the presence of BJP ministers, MPs and legislators, Gopal said Article 370 was depriving people of J&K of many privileges and was also denying constitutional rights to the weaker sections of the state. He specially mentioned that the Scheduled Tribes were not getting political reservation due to Article 370.
On January 30 this year, Mehbooba had launched an indirect attack on the Sangh Parivar by dubbing all opponents of Articles 370 and 35-A as anti-nationals.. Though the BJP leadership at that time had failed to effectively counter Mehbooba due to coalition compulsions, the Sangh Parivar was waiting for an appropriate opportunity to hit back.
Speaking on the occasion, Deputy Chief Minister Nirmal Singh said, “For us power is not important. We are committed to our ideology and our agenda is to strengthen nationalist forces in J&K.”
He said the BJP would not compromise with national interest at any cost. The Deputy Chief Minister said there was no question of holding any dialogue with the Hurriyat or Pakistan atthis point of time.
Rejecting Mehbooba’s demand for engaging with separatists and Pakistan for restoring peace in J&K, the Deputy Chief Minister said there was no question of holding dialogue with the Hurriyat or Pakistan at this point of time.
Sangh Parivar is thus backing Narendra Modi to the hilt. India has resolved that it is not going to hold any talks whatsoever with any Separatists or with the Pak Govt on issue of Kashmir.
India will also strive to wrest back PoK from Pakistan at the right opportune time. Meanwhile Indian Army will go all out to hunt down each and every terrorist who having infiltrated from Pakistan are presently operating in Kashmir.
In case required terrorist bases in Pakistan or any other Country will be struck and destroyed. Steps have been initiated to stop all funding coming to the terrorists and the Hurriyat Separatists from any where in the world. America has already declared the HM boss as an international terrorist , soon other countries will do the same.
