Dr Karn Singh, now the congress leader and son of former
king of J&K, has reacted over the removal of most provisions of article
370 and the division of this state in two union territories.
He has said through a statement, “I am not against the
decision has been taken by the government on article 370 although I shall
accept that we all are dazed over the sudden decision taken.”
He added, “I welcome the status of a union teritory given
to ladakh. As I was Sadr-e-riyasat, I had said about restructuring of state in
1965. The political powers shall be shared perfectly now in J&K after new
delimitation."
Dr Karn Singh in this statement has told
the continuing of political dialogue in J&K is the need of the hour. He has said that by
sidelining of two regional political parties terming them anti-national is not
a correct step. According to Dr Singh, “the workers of these parties have also
sacrificed. More over all these on several occasions with the national parties
have played vital role to form union and the state government. In such
condition I appeal with the government to release these leaders earliest and
maintain the political talk with them.” He added that on all condition there
must be maitainted all the communal harmony here.
However Dr Karn Singh is not a first leader in congress
who has endored the government decision taken on the J&K. Mr Jyotiraditya
Scindia, Milind Deorah, Dipendra Singh Hudda, Janardan Dwedi and Bhubneshwar
Kalita –all have affirmatively expressed on the government decision.
The government,
two sections of article 370 that provided J&K the special status, had
abolished this week and also introduced a bill for restructuring this state
into two union territories together. The bill passed in parliament lower house
on Monday and next day in upper house.
