Srinagar, August 25, 2018 (PPI-OT): In occupied Kashmir, the Hurriyat forum led by Mirwaiz Umar Farooq has said that any sort of tampering with the Article 35-A of the Indian Constitution will invite serious repercussions. A large number of leaders and activists of the Hurriyat forum and Awami Action Committee participated in a protest outside Jamia Masjid in Srinagar against the Indian government’s attempts to repeal Article 35-A, which gives special privileges and rights to the people of Jammu and Kashmir. Petitions seeking the abrogation of the Article 35-A will come up for hearing in the Indian Supreme Court on August 31.
A leader of the Hurriyat forum, Ghulam Nabi Zaki, addressing the protesters said that the entire population of Kashmir would fight with full resilience to protect the Article 35-A. He said, “Employing such ploys shows yet again that Delhi’s intentions towards the people of Kashmir are not good and it wants to use its every tactic including military might to force them into a submission.”
