    ‘Situation in Jammu worse than Kashmir: Some channels promote BJP instead of Constitution: Mehbooba

    Jammu, November 09,: PDP president and former Jammu Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti Monday said that Article 370 is not about Muslims versus Hindus and Kashmir versus Jammu. She said the situation in Jammu is worse than Kashmir, though it is not highlighted.

    “The darkness that started post-August 5, 2019 has engulfed Jammu also and people here are too much worried about the sequence of events.”

    While addressing a press conference in Jammu, Mehbooba Mufti said that BJP is hell bent to destroy Jammu and Kashmir and this party has left no stone unturned to make people lose their identity.

    “Despite suffering huge losses on account of abrogation of Article 370 and Covid-19 pandemic, BJP has put land and natural resources of Kashmir and Jammu on sale,” she said adding that people will give a befitting reply to BJP and they won’t forgive this party for destroying J&K.

    “BJP is acting as an imperialistic entity. Our natural resources are being looted. Our power has been looted. Our accession was conditional. Jammu and Kashmir has not merged with India but acceded with certain conditions. Annulment of Special Status has affected Jammu too.”

    The former Jammu Kashmir Chief Minister as per agency said that land has already shrunk in Jammu and Kashmir. “An impression is given that J&K has not developed. Our people don’t sleep on railway tracks and are not homeless. BJP is simply misleading the whole country,” she said.

    “The flag of Jammu and Kashmir was given to us by the Constitution and they have snatched our identity. Outsiders are being given contracts for the extraction of natural resources. Punjabi Language has not been included in the Official Language list as Sikh community is demanding that. They say to the rest of India to buy the land in Jammu and Kashmir but have they rehabilitated the Kashmiri migrants.”

  • J&K Police rescinds order seeking details of house owners, family in Jammu

    J&K Police rescinds order seeking details of house owners, family in Jammu

    NewDelhi, November 09: Jammu and Kashmir Police on Sunday rescinded its earlier order asking house owners in pre-dominantly Muslim-inhabited areas here to give details of their family members as well as tenants.
    In a video message on social media, IGP (Jammu) Mukesh Singh said he has come across apprehensions among people in Bhatindi and Sunjwan areas regarding a verification exercise and admitted that it “is asking for more data than that is required”. Allying apprehensions, he said the Jammu SSP “has been asked to immediately rectify the format” which he claimed is meant for tenant verification in the “entire Jammu district”.

    Police had circulated two forms in the areas — one for tenants and the other concerning “houseowner verification”. Trouble arose as police knocked at the doorsteps to collect details of house owners and family members, besides tenants.

    Sheikh Shakeel, a senior advocate, said collecting details of tenants is understandable due to the law and order scenario but referred to the Supreme Court judgment on privacy to object to collection of details of family members. He asked how the details, which are already with the government in one form or another, will not land in the wrong hands.

    A resident of Bhatindi questioned the door-to-door exercise saying details of tenants are required to be submitted at the police station as per norms.

    When contacted, Jammu SSP Shridhar Patil admitted that house owners usually submit details of tenants themselves but police had started the verification drive as the same had not been done in many cases ahead of the opening of offices after the durbar move on Monday. “We are looking into the matter,” he said about the form on details of house owners, adding that field officials have been instructed to confine their exercise to collection of tenants’ details.

    A police officer, who did not wish to be named, said it was the special operations group of the J&K Police that was collecting all the details of house owners, including GPS locations of their property.
    Even the BJP objected to the exercise. The party’s chief spokesperson Sunil Sethi said “it was improper and we request the administration to stop it immediately”. (IndianExpress)
