The leaders appealed to President Ram Nath Kovind and Prime Minister Narendra Modi to safeguard the "legitimate interest" of the people of the state
Amid the prevailing security situation in the Valley, leaders of all major political parties in Jammu and Kashmir met — first at Mehbooba Mufti’s residence and then at Farooq Abdullah’s residence — here on Sunday and urged India and Pakistan not to take any step which may disturb the peace and escalate tension between the two countries.
“I appeal to India and Pakistan not to take any step that may escalate tension between the two countries because it will harm both the nations,” parties said in a declaration.
The leaders unanimously resolved to “protect and defend identity, autonomy and special status to Jammu and Kashmir against all attacks and onslaughts whatsoever”.
“Modification, abrogation of Article 35A, Article 370, constitutional delimitation and trifurcation of the state would be an aggression against the people of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh,” National Conference chief Farooq Abdullah read out from the declaration.
The leaders appealed to President Ram Nath Kovind and Prime Minister Narendra Modi to safeguard the “legitimate interest” of the people of the state.
“The parties participating in the meeting resolved to seek audience with the President and PM and also other leaders of the political parties to apprise them of the current situation and make an appeal to them to safeguard the legitimate interest of the people of the state with regard to constitutional guarantees given by the Constitution of our country,” former Chief Minister Abdullah said.
