Srinagar, August 06, 2018 (PPI-OT): In occupied Kashmir, the Joint Resistance Leadership (JRL) has said the protest programme against assault on Article 35-A will continue despite the deferment of hearing on the state subject law by the Supreme Court. JRL comprising Syed Ali Gilani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Mohammad Yasin Malik in a statement in Srinagar said that deferment of the case by a few weeks is an “indication about the intentions of the court which entertained these mischievous petitions backed by the RSS, as part of RSS’s well known agenda on J and K.”
“A strict vigil will be maintained on the situation as they will continue to devise and follow a collective strategy in consultation with all segments of society, including traders, lawyers, civil society members, transporters and others,” the JRL said. The JRL lauded the entire people of Jammu and Kashmir from all regions and religions for their unity and exemplary courage in defending this law, which is “fundamental to our existence as a nation.”
“This law is directly linked to the disputed status of the entire J and K as people of the territory are yet to exercise their right to self-determination guaranteed by the UN to decide their permanent dispensation as a nation,” said the JRL.
