Jammu, Apr 4: Shiv Sena Bala Sahib Thackeray, J&K unit criticized the statement of former Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti regarding the relationship between the Union and the State would be over if Article 370 of the Constitution is revoked.
Briefing media persons here, Gulab Chand Dubey, Rasthriya Sangath of Shiv Sena flanked by State President Shiv Sena, Dimpy Kohli asserted that scrapping of Article 370 is must for the better development of Jammu and Kashmir.
Accusing National Conference, People’s Democratic Party and other self centred parties of misusing Article 370 to deny the State’s people their benefits, Shiv Sena leader asked these parties to stop misleading the people.
He said that the people of J&K, in the name of Article 370 have been denied benefits which are otherwise due to them and are available to the citizens of this country. He further said that Article 370 has been misused by a small privileged and influential section in J&K to filter out all the progressive legislation from reaching the State.
He exhorted people to forge unity against dynasty politics and family rule propagated and implemented in PDP and National Conference. He reiterated that the dynasty politics is the root cause of all ills in Kashmir, saying that the menace of corruption, favouritism, hardships and miseries faced by people of the State are all because of this family rule that has left J&K in a state of suffering.
He said that people here are completely fed up of the exploitative political tactics and gimmicks of NC and PDP and added that PDP and NC has set a goal of flourishing their respective dynasty and dynastic centric politics without caring for poor people. He said that both these regional parties never ever bothered about innocent people or their interests but preferred either to stay in power or grab it at any cost.
Kohli urged the people to support Shiv Sena in the ensuing Lok Sabha elections so that the problems being faced by the people of Jammu region would be resolved at the earliest.
