Jamu & Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said on Tuesday (25 February 2025) that the description of Article 370 is “temporary or transitional” [provision] It is because when J&K joined India in 1947, its status was not yet fully formalized.

“What is the commitment to the J&K people when entering the entry into Article 370? [under which J&K enjoyed special status] Temporary and transitional? The promise is a referendum. At the time of joining, J&K’s identity has not yet been fully formalized. It is understood that its future will be determined through democratic means. ” Mr. Abdullah said in an interview with the TV channel.

The remarks of the Chief Minister J&K are of great significance after a recent interview with the former Chief Justice of India on the BBC, describing Article 370 as “temporary and temporary”.

“The temporary or transitional words related to Article 370 have a background,” Abdullah said.

He also tried to revisit the tools and conditions for joining, which were signed by Hari Singh, then Dogra ruler, and the Indian government in 1947. It is enabled. Both aspects must be treated equally, not one considered permanent, while the other must be considered temporary. The frames that control join should remain unchanged. ” he said.

However, the Chief Minister praised the change in the atmosphere of J&K after the abolition of Article 370 of 2019. Referring to the decline in separatist activities since 2019, Mr. Abdullah said: “Milwaz was unthinkable earlier. CRPF covers are provided.”

Mirvaz’s office says it’s ridiculous

However, Mirwaz’s office called Mr. Abdullah’s remarks “absurd”. “Mr. Abdullah’s position in responsibility is considered the meaning of speaking and will attribute the security provided to Mirwaiz Umar Farooq to a full understanding of the situation , which is regrettable and has a very bad taste. This irresponsible comment betrays the commentator’s insecurity and suffers further fantasies in the already troubled person and his mindset,” Mill said. A statement issued by the Watz office said.

Opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) lawmaker Waheed-ur-Rehmaan Parra also questioned Mr Abdullah’s remarks about changes in the situation after 2019. “If Kashmir today looks calm today, it is because of the implementation of laws such as UAPA and PSA (Public Safety Act), activities of NIA, seizure of residence and property, continuous analysis, prisoner accommodation under Harsher Harsher, Papa Mr. La said: “The law and the dismissal of workers under section 311. ”

He said Mr. Abdullah’s remarks “represent a complete turn of the campaign and declaration”. “Now, your approval is nothing more than approval of the Iron Fist approach against the Kashmiris.”

Sajad Lone, chairman of the J&K People’s Congress (JKPC), said Mr Abdullah’s remarks “increases the vulnerability he faces”. “Ching Mirwaiz only puts him at greater risk because his family has paid a heavy price. The fact is that hundreds of graves, shrines and mosques are protected by JKP and CRPF. So why publish Mirwaiz What about the problem?” Mr. Lorne said in his post on X.
