‘Pro-Indian parties are responsible for fiddling with Article 370’

SRINAGAR, Aug 9: Hurriyat Conference (G) chairman Syed Ali Geelani today said authorities in New Delhi are hell bent upon tampering with the Muslim majority character of Jammu and Kashmir.
Cautioning people against the “nefarious designs of Delhi and its henchmen in the state,” Geelani said people in Jammu and Kashmir will not allow anyone to alter or interfere with the integrity and special status of the state and will safeguard it at all costs.
In a statement he said that from the day one, BJP regime is working to sabotage the referendum process in Jammu and Kashmir and are hatching conspiracies to achieve desired results to influence the process of referendum.
Geelani asked pro-Indian politicians to join pro-freedom ranks and play their role in resolving this long-pending issue.
Blaming New Delhi for the proposed tinkering in article 35 A, he said it is a well thought out ploy to tamper with the special status of Muslim majority character of Jammu and Kashmir and added that while carrying brutal bloodshed, authorities are creating Palestine like situations in state.
Lamenting at pro-Indian parties, Geelani said their rhetoric about prevailing situation is just a political gimmick and added that they are responsible for tampering and fiddling with Article 370.
Strongly criticizing RSS and their allies for their unholy nexus, Geelani said that the move to abrogate this article is a preplanned game and reports of leaving coalition is just a mockery and a political gimmick.
Geelani expressed his deep concern over the proposed tinkering in state subject law and said that it is conspiracy to alter demography and Muslim majority status of Jammu Kashmir and added that if any such move is undertaken, the people from outside states will purchase land in JK and a situation like that of Palestine will arise.
It is conspiracy to alter demography and Muslim majority status of Jammu Kashmir and will be resisted tooth and nail, said Geelani.
He appealed to writers, scholars and members of society to make masses aware about the consequences of proposed repealing of state subject law and asked them to make every possible effort to reach out to international community about prevailing horrifying situations and disputed status of Jammu & Kashmir.
