Srinagar, Feb 12 : Peoples Conference Chairman Sajad Gani Lone on Tuesday said the erosion of J&K’s special status is responsible for growing alienation and mistrust towards New Delhi.

In a statement, Sajad Gani Lone said the Article 35A is not just a matter of legality, but it is a matter of trust between New Delhi and Jammu and Kashmir.

“It is a matter of promises made decades ago. It is a part of a set of special provisions offered to the people of the state in order to be part of India. People ignorant of history pass it off as concessions to the State,” adding that tinkering with the constitutional provision will have serious consequences which are beyond our imagination.

He said fiddling with Articles of trust like 35A intensifies the challenges faced by the state.

“The state is facing challenges from forces who are not satisfied with the current level of distinctiveness and are rather disappointed by the gradual erosion of the special status and believe in a separate identity,” he added.

Sajad said the Article 35A and Article 370 are the provisions of Indian Constitution and those questioning them are challenging the constitution of India. “Article 35A is not the only provision in the constitution which has been inserted by the presidential order issued under Article 370,” he said, adding that Supreme Court has upheld the powers of the President to insert provisions in the constitution for application to J&K. 

He said the those who challenge Article 35A are only helping in strengthening those forces who have no faith in the constitution.

“Like Article 370, there are special provisions like Articles 371, 371A, 371B, 371C providing for special provisions for Northeast and other states,” he added. (GNS)

“India is suffering from arrogance of power and has tried its best to muzzle our voice—but has utterly failed to do so, and Indian might, its brutality can never deter us from our much cherished goal of right to self-determination,” said Hurriyat (G) Chairman.
Pro-freedom leader said that situation in the valley is worsening with each passing day and that Indian authorities rely on their military might to suppress people’s aspirations and muzzle voices. 
Hurriyat Conference (G) chairman regretted that the stubborn attitude of India regarding this globally accepted political dispute and dealing with it only militarily has created death and destruction in whole state and peace and harmony of whole region is threatened. He said that with the resolution of this issue a new era of peace, stability and development will prevail not only in Jammu and Kashmir but in whole South Asia.
Meanwhile, “continuous bad weather, heavy snow fall and torrential rains for the last couple of weeks have created havoc in Jammu and Kashmir particularly the stranded passengers and their families, and callous and casual response from the administration has added to their miseries,” said Hurriyat Conference (G) chairman, Syed Ali Geelani.
Expressing his grief and sorrow on the multifold problems faced by the people has exposed the tall claims of the establishment. He said that this unnatural road link is always under the harsh shadows of weather and it has consumed thousands of people in addition to the property worth millions. This deadly link sucks the blood of Kashmiris for the last 71 years and no year has passed when its connectivity is un-interrupted throughout the year.
Hurriyat (G) chairman said that thousands of fruit loaded trucks and their owners are stranded at the mercy of weather and poor and helpless fruit growers are made to watch their hard earned wealth, decaying in front of them.
He said that passengers waiting for the road to open are financially exhausted and instead of providing them food shelter, government has forced them to the mercy of the fascist and sick minded Hinduatwa preachers who thrashed and stoned these helpless people and made them to run for their life.
Hurriyat Conference (G) chairman said that every event in Jammu and Kashmir for the last 7 decades has proved the genesis and philosophy of two nation theory right. He further said when a yatra bus meets an accident in Kashmir, people come to their rescue and provide them every possible help, but when our people face any hardship outside, handful of venomous people try to take their revenge by harassing them.
