Srinagar, April 6 : National Conference vice president Omar Abdullah Saturday lashed out at PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti for holding his party responsible for erosion of Jammu and Kashmir’s special status and autonomy.

“Just look at her track record. The biggest damage to Article 370 happened during her tenure when GST was applied to the state,” he said.

Omar also held Mehbooba responsible for NIA issuing repeated summons to Mirwaiz Umar Farooq.

“Again it was during her tenure that NIA registered a case against Mirwaiz and is now issuing summons to him for questioning,” Omar told reporters on the sidelines on a party convention in Kupwara.

He welcomed as “better late than never” Congress party’s pledge to repeal AFSPA from Jammu and Kashmir “Had they taken the same stand before, AFSPA would have been repealed from Jammu and Kashmir in 2014,” he said. (GNS)

Srinagar, April 6 : Authorities on Saturday granted a family from Anantnag permission to travel on the Srinagar-Jammu highway on Sunday, one of the two days in a week when the government has banned civilian traffic on the thoroughfare to “secure” convoy movement.
The family, as reported by GNS on Friday, had to run from pillar to post to seek  ‘permission’ for travelling to Doda to their son’s bride’s home.

Authorities allowed 12 persons to accompany the groom— Danish Ali— to travel but said the 12-member marriage party would travel in 4 vehicles and will be allowed to move only after “proper frisking and security check-up,” according to an order issued here by the additional deputy commissioner Anantnag.

“Danish Ali son of Showkat Ali Bhat of New Qazi Bagh Anantnag District Anantnag accompanied by 12 persons be allowed to move from Anantnag to Doda along with vehicle No’s JK03C-2171, DL7CF-6696, JK03E-2430 and DL3CAN-2779 in connection with marriage ceremony on 06-04-2019 and back on 07-04-2019 after proper frisking /security check (The permission is valid for two days only),” reads an order issued by the additional deputy commissioner Anantnag.

The family of Danish Nabi had to abandon preparations for the wedding scheduled on April 7 in wake of the government order. Reason: the bride’s home is in Doda district.

 “Suddenly, we had to seek permission from deputy Commissioner Anantnag for travelling on the highway as the government order has banned civilian traffic on Saturday and Sunday,” they said.

While there are no changes in rules governing the marriage and deputy commissioner’s consent is not required to tie nuptial knot but Danish’s family had to seek the permission to allow the marriage party travel to the bride’s home in Doda via the Srinagar-Jammu highway on Sunday, one of the two days in a week when civilian traffic will not be allowed on the highway to “secure” the movement of convoy of government forces .

The family, leaving the preparations midway, had to move application to deputy commissioner and move from one office to another for getting the permission on Friday.

The family first visited the office of Deputy Commissioner Anantnag and submitted an application for grant of permission to ply four vehicles on the highway to reach the bride’s home in Doda district. The deputy commissioner marked the application on additional deputy commissioner who in turn forwarded it to senior superintendent of police for the southern Kashmir district, seeking report positively to allow the family to ply four vehicles for the marriage ceremony on Sunday.

Srinagar, Apr 06 : All Party Group European Parliament on Kashmir (APGK) on Saturday said they are convinced that right for self determination to Kashmiris should no longer be refused.

“All Party Group European Parliament on Kashmir (APGK) are following intensively the politics in Kashmir. We are convinced that the right for self determination should no longer be refused for this Himalayas territory disputed between the two nuclear powers India and Pakistan,” the European parliamentarians said.

We have raised our voices – and will continue to do so – for a peaceful solution, they said as per a report.

The European Parliament has therefore adopted resolutions and reports, urging a respect of human rights, rule of law and confidence building measures, reads the report.

The European parliamentarians said that “We have as well hosted conferences, where all parties involved in the conflict have participated. As India is heading this month towards general elections, we see signs, which are very disturbing-apparently to attract Hindutva voters:

1. UN resolutions and the European Parliament confirm the Kashmiri right for self determination. Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of India, has raised the stakes by
   projecting this right to self-determination as “sponsored terrorism. ”
2. On this pretext, the Indian armed forces use excessive force that lead to unlawful killings and a high number of injuries, many caused by pellet-firing shotguns.
3. Sections of the leadership of the All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC), a joint political forum which is a stabilising factor in this conflict, have been arrested including Yasin Malik, chairman of the JKLF. The Jammu & Kashmir Public Safety Act will enable a detention of up to two years without any access to a judicial process.
4. The National investigation Agency of India (NIA) has pinpointed the APHC leaders for alleged “terror funding” simply because they advocate the right to self determination for the people of Jammu & Kashmir across the Cease Fire Line (CFL).
5. The NIA raided the residence of Mirwaiz Umar Farooq (APHC), and is asking him to present himself at the NIA office at New Delhi. The president and Vice president of APGK MEP Julie Ward and MEP Klaus Buchner respectively urged the Government of India not to pour more oil in the fire – and to abstain from any (purely electoral) accusations, harassment and detention of the moderate opposition in Kashmir.
