‘The reality is that there is a systematic disempowerment of the people of J&K, which is continuing to happen through bureaucratic rule,’ it says.
The Gupkar Alliance, an amalgam of Jammu and Kashmir’s regional parties fighting for the restoration of pre-August 5, 2019 special constitutional position, on Friday termed the latest Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) report on the region “concocted and fabricated stories” and said that “the ground situation belies these claims.”
“The claims in a recently released report by the Union Home Ministry titled ‘The dream of one nation, one law, one symbol fulfilled’ is far from the reality. The reality is that there is a systematic disempowerment of the people of J&K, which is continuing to happen through bureaucratic rule,” Gupkar Alliance spokesman and CPI(M) leader M.Y Tarigami said in Srinagar.
He said there were “concocted and fabricated” claims of the BJP government that the abrogation of Article 370 and downgrading of a State into two Union Territories had paved the way for new industries, created new employment opportunities, decreased terror incidents, brought atmosphere of peace and security, nurtured democracy, eradicated corruption, and brought new Central laws for the betterment of people.
