Shopian: Jammu and Kashmir National Conference vice president Omar Abdullah on Tuesday asserted Art 370, Art 35-A are of utmost importance for safe and secure future of our younger generation, saying that any attack on the special constitutional position of state will have far reaching and dire consequences on our coming generations.
Addressing a public meet at circuit house in Shopian, party vice president said, “The much illustrious land to tiller stride made by Sher e Kashmir, Sheikh Muhammad Abdullah which made the poor peasantry of our state the rightful owners of the land which they worked upon was only possible due to Art 370, Art 35-A, however any attack on the articles will reverse back the situation to pre 1947 era. The people of Baramulla parliamentary constituency have already chosen Lone Sahib to accompany Dr. Sahib to parliament now it is the turn of south Kashmir to elect Masoodi sahib so that there could be a party of team headed by Dr. Farooq sahib in Parliament,” he said.
Party vice president said that the tribal population of the state would also not escape the dire consequences of any attack on the special status of the state. “You won’t be able to draw your sustenance from forests. When we talk of saving Art 370, Art 35-A, we are talking about our future, our very existence. So it is imperative for you to strengthen the hands of NC candidate for Anantnag constituency Masoodi Sahib. He has the necessary political acumen to deal with the situation. A legal luminary, he is known for his pronounced judgments on Art 370. He far exceeds other candidates which are in the fray, in terms of his acquaintance with legal aspects of Art 370, Art 35-A,” he said.
Flaying Mehbooba Mufti for shedding crocodile tears on the miseries of people he said, “The election time crocodile tears are political tears whose veracity is under question. Had PDP president and the Ex-Chief minister shed tears when our youth were devoured upon in 2016, it would have had any impact”.
“When enjoying the benefits of power, she had bolted her mouth. People who had voted for her, and reposed their faith in her were dejected by her changed outlook. People still remember how sordidly she mocked the death and misery of hundreds of families who had to shoulder the coffins of their beloved, with her milk and Toffee remarks,” he said.
Omar said that how can people trust her for the protection of Art 370, Art 35-A given the fact she was the one who implemented SARFAESI, NFSA, GST in the state.
Omar in a frontal attack on PM Modi said that his government had bequeathed much peaceful situation to Modi led BJP government.
