Srinagar: No power on earth can amend or abrogate Article 370 of the Constitution of India without the will of people of Jammu and Kashmir, State Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) chief Saifuddin Soz asserted on Tuesday.
The Article will continue to remain as an integral part of Constitution of India, Soz was quoted as having told different public gatherings in Kupwara.
He rejected as rumour mongering of fear that Kashmir were not treated well outside the state. He told the people that they should develop the culture of investigation of individual complaints before they give credence to the rumours which are floated by the vested interests. He said that where-ever there are complaints these must be brought to the notice of the authorities.
The Congress President informed the people that about 10 lakh Kashmiris were pursuing studies in various universities and colleges in India or they are involved in pursuit of livelihood selling shawls, carpets and other handicrafts. It is therefore an imperative for people who have apprehension regarding any adverse situation to check facts before making the statements, he said.
At all the places Prof Soz responded to the local demands in respect of drinking water, irrigation facilities, good health care, repairs and construction of link roads. Prof Soz assured the people that Minister Incharge of these departments would visit these areas and solve their difficulties. He assured that he would himself monitor implementation of these commitments. Prof Soz, Raman Bhalla, Shabir Ahmad Khan and others colleagues urged the people to remain steadfast in their resolve to further strengthen the Congress. They expressed great satisfaction that Congress had become peoples movement in Kashmir and this augers well for future of this party as a instrument of service to the people.
Prof Soz said that Congress had emerged as an important political factor in the state and no Government in the State can be formed without Partys involvement.
He explained in detail why he was asserting that in elections to be held in 2014 Congress will have the largest numbers and will emerge decisive factor in the politics of Jammu and Kashmir.
