Mir alleged that it is very strange that one coalition partner has agenda to abrogate Article 35A and second partner is working for safeguard of 35-A . Both are befooling the people of the State. They are playing a fixed match.
On the abrogation of Article 35A, he added that there will be demographic change in all the three regions of the State and the outside people will show their rights on land of State and there would be larger encroachment on land in Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh.
The people of other States would also show their right on Govt jobs, and it will raise unemployment for State people. The J&K state is not so rich and self-sufficient as the other states like Rajasthan, Punjab and Maharashtra. The Jammu region will have serious impact with it.
He said that it is surprised to say that BJP ruling states are working for safe guard of their people but in J&K State it is totally on different. It is against abrogation of Article 35A and Art 370.
On the stand of Congress on 35A , Mir said that top Congress leader Pt Nehru gave us all rights for the safe guard of J&K people. It will not be begging given by the then rulers.
PCC senior vice president, Sham Lal Sharma, MLC Balbir Singh, Ex MLA Girdhari Lal Chalotra, Pankaj Dogra and some other senior leaders also spoke on the occasion.
