Won’t remain silent, will fight GoI’s ‘open loot’ of JK’s resources, says Mehbooba Mufti

‘Sarfaroshi ki tammana ab hamaray dil mei hai, dekhna hai zoor kitna vazoway qatil mein hai’

Srinagar: Peoples Democratic Party Chief Mehbooba Mufti on Thursday accused the Government of India of resorting to open loot of JK’s resources by making fresh announcements that include repealing of land laws, allowing outsiders to buy land in JK, introducing domicile law and axing the government employees by reducing the service period to 22 years only.

Talking to reporters at her Gupkar residence after she wasn’t allowed to meet several PDP workers detained by the police for taking out a rally, the PDP chief said that the party workers tried to stage a peaceful demonstration against GoI’s back to back announcements regarding “plundering of JK’s resources.”

“But our workers were detained and lodged in a police station. I tried to meet them to know their well-being but wasn’t allowed,” she said.

“I am glad that people of Jammu and Ladakh too have realized the essence of people’s alliance for Gupkar declaration as intentions of BJP led government at the Centre are quite clear now,” she said, adding that “it’s time for a united battle against GoI anti-JK policy.”

“I am not going to sit idle and will fight the government of India’s open loot in JK. They are stealing our resources. Every day there is a new announcement from GoI. The latest of it was repealing of land laws and allowing outsiders to buy land in JK. This just an election stunt as polls are round the corner in Bihar and then elections will be held in West Bengal too,” she said.

Mehbooba said that earlier domicile law was introduced and then the government announced that it can axe any government employee after 22 years of service. “I won’t allow this open loot. In other Indian states, people have no food to eat, but BJP government wants them to buy land in JK,” she said, adding that “Today JK has been converted into a big jail.”

Asked about her next step, she said: “Sarfaroshi ki tamana ab hamaray dil mei hai, dekhna hai zoor kitna bazuway kaatil mei hai.”
