SRINAGAR, April 3:Jammu Kashmir Apni Party (JKAP) on Friday decided that its President Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari would call on Prime Minster Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah in connection with the union government order defining domicile law in Jammu and Kashmir.
Ghulam Hassan Mir, the senior leader of JKAP confirmed to Kashmir Despatch that the party has in principle decided to register protest against the domicile law defined in the latest central government order. “We have unanimously decided that the JKAP president Altaf Bukhari saheb will call on the Honb’le Prime Minister and Home Minister conveying them our protest with regard to the unsatisfactory domicile law which is not in sync with the aspirations of people of Jammu and Kashmir,” Mir told Kashmir Despatch.
He said that since the party has already described the new order on domicile as ‘unacceptable’ and ‘cosmetic’ in nature, the JKAP president shall hold threadbare deliberations with the country’s top leadership as per their commitments made on the floor of Parliament.
“It is not something that was only conveyed to JKAP during its meeting with the Prime Minister and Home Minster but the Home Minister is on record to say that J&K will have the best domicile law as compared to other hill states in the country. This is what our president will be discussing with them in his meeting the Prime Minister and Home Minister as and when it is scheduled in few days,” he informed Kashmir Despatch.
