POONCH, Aug 8: Senior National Conference leader and Deputy Chairman J&K Legislative Council, Javed A Rana has said that Parliament of India has no unilateral powers under the Constitution of the Union of India to abrogate Art. 370 and any irrational and hasty step in this direction would be disastrous.
Addressing a public meeting at Tehsil Mankote, Mr. Rana said that Article 370 is the only instrument that defines relationship between the Union of India and the State of Jammu & Kashmir and any irrational and unconstitutional step by the Union Government would take us back to late 1940s. Instrument of Accession that was signed by the representatives of Union of India and the princely state of J&K was conditional, he added.
He said it is the duty of the Union Government to protect this Instrument as scraping this article would lead to unmanageable tensions all around.
Further addressing the public, Rana highlighted the role played by Omar led Government in the last five years. He said that this Government has done some historic works in the last five years and now it becomes the duty of general public to exercise their sovereign right most rationally in the forthcoming Assembly elections.
