Mehbooba Mufti,CM of J&K, has warned
for any alteration in the article 35(A) of Indian constitution on Friday, which
is being argued in the Apex court. This constitutional article confers the
power to the state assembly to provide the privilege and to define the permanent
residents. Mehbooba defending the power of article said: any alteration of this
article will give bad consequence and this will mean that none will be able to
save Indian national flag in Jammu and Kashmir.
She has added that this will endanger the activists and the
workers of NC and PDP like state level main stream parties, who rigidly stand
to hoist the national flag in Kashmir.
PDP president in Kashmir
during a programe said that any type of alteration will not be accepted in the
article. Absolutely here is no hesitation to say that, if article is deleted,
none will touch National flag's body in Kashmir – I clarify it here.
The article 35(A) has been
challenged to its legal base in the Apex court by an NGO, named “We the citizen”. This
article never came in the parliament house and it was implemented by the
President order, the petition said. The conferred powers to then president, Dr
Rajendra Prasad, under article 370 exercised his power to enact ‘ the
constitution order 1954 ( Application for J&K)’ this provision.
Mehbooba Mufti praised PM
Modi’s leadership, but she has said that she has the meaning of India – Indira
Gandhi! She said during a programme relating Kashmir in National capital that,
as is being shown about India in prime time at television, she is disappointed
because it deeps the ditch between India and Kashmir. She said she does not
know such India that is being shown in the 'aggressive television discussion'.
The CM said that I am sad
saying so, that the television anchors show, which image of India, is not about
to India... which India I know is not for that. She said pointing towards (RSS)
disliking of Nehru-Gandhi family, “India means for me – Indira Gandhi. As I was
growing, they led India for me. May be some people do not like — but she was
India."
Mehbooba said, “I want to
see that India which has a groan and feels pain of Kashmir; that India which
hug us on our conditions. We are differ in other state which has much diversity
in everything and religion. Kashmir is a small India in India. The CM has
expressed her hope to PM Modi that PM will solve the issue of J&K."
She said, “It seems me that
PM Modi is a personality of this hour. He may be the personality of history and
his leadership is a property which needs to be exploited — and to work
together, there should be way of solution for Kashmir to be out from crises.”
