Srinagar: BJP general secretary Tarun Chugh on Wednesday said that the Supreme Court is the guardian of the rights of individuals and weaker sections of the society who were deprived of their rights before abrogation of Article 370.
In a statement, Chugh said that people have realised how Abdullahs and Muftis kept them in the dark all these years and allegedly played to the tunes of Pakistan ISI to deprive people of development and progress.
“They are just doing politics. Did they forget women of J&K were sufferers while tribal populations including Paharis, Valmakis, SCs, STs and West Pakistan refugees were deprived of their rights?” he said in the statement.
He said that they have been misleading the people of Jammu and Kashmir by their slogan of justice. “The Article 370 has been the biggest hindrance in the development of Jammu and Kashmir, especially the weaker sections,” he said.
A large number of public welfare steps have been taken for the J&K people ever since Article 370 was done away with and a new era has dawned upon the Union Territory.
“J&K has moved away from terrorism to tourism, from bullets and stones to new education and development,” he said.
