Restore Democracy: CPI (M) Central Committee adopts resolution on J&K

New Delhi, Aug 5: The Central Committee of the CPI(M) has adopted a  resolution, which, among other things, has called for restoration of democracy and holding of elections in Jammu & Kashmir.

Following is the abridged version of the resolution,  a copy of which has been shared with Ziraat Times: 

August 5, 2023 marks the completion of four years since the special status of Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370 being annulled and the state of Jammu and Kashmir dismantled. This assault on the Constitution and federalism presaged an all-round attack on the rights of citizens in Jammu and Kashmir.

The last five years under Central rule have seen steps to alter the very identity of Jammu and Kashmir with change in domicile laws and land rights. There is a concerted move to change the demography of the state.

Despite tall claims, the economic situation has deteriorated with high unemployment, estimated to be three times of the national average. The livelihood of different sections of the people like apple growers and small business owners have been adversely affected.

The basic denial of democracy and democratic rights of the people is seen most acutely in the failure to hold assembly elections to the J&K assembly. Even after a delimitation exercise that was weighted to favour BJP’s interests and reducing the representation of the people of Kashmir valley, the Central government is not holding elections.

Thus, in all respects, the people of J&K have been reduced to second class citizens. The Central Committee of the CPI(M), therefore, demands that elections be held to the J&K assembly immediately.

The Centre should reverse all the measures that erode the domicile status of the permanent residence of J&K and protect their land rights,

The Central Committee expresses the solidarity with the democratic forces and the people of Jammu and Kashmir in their struggle to restore their rights.
