Political Affairs Committee of party meets, unanimously passes resolution
Srinagar, Sep 05, KDC: The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) on Monday reiterated its commitment to struggle for the resolution of the external and internal dimensions of the the issue of J&K & extended un-conditional support to political organisations who are ready to join the fight for the restoration of rights and dignity of the people of J&K.
The Political Affairs committee (PAC) of the party met here under the chairmanship of the party president Mehbooba Mufti to deliberate upon the current political situation and measures to strengthen the party at the grass roots level.
“The party calls for a united fight to restore the dignity and constitutional rights of the state that are enshrined in the Constitution of India. The party will extend unqualified support to other political parties in this joint fight and will look forward and welcome support of others. This is a call of history that we all can ignore only to our peril and annihilation of our distinct identity, culture and civilisational uniqueness” a resolution passed in the PAC reads according to news agency Kashmir Dot Com.
The meeting discussed in detail the prevailing political situation and expressed serious concern on the continuous coercion aimed at muzzling the legitimate voice of the people after illegal abrogation of special status of the state. It was decided that the PDP will launch a public outreach programme to strengthen the party at the constituency level.
The detailed text of the PAC resolution is as follows:
PAC Resolution on 5th September 2022
We Reiterate our commitment to the basic Charter of PDP to struggle for the resolution of the external and internal dimensions of the problem of J&K. We implore the GOI to restart dialogue both with people of J&K and Pakistan to put an end to the bloodshed here. For this the party will under the leadership of Mehbooba Mufti strive through all constitutional, democratic and non violent means.
Party unequivocally calls for restitution of the democratic rights of the state of J&K. The unconstitutional scrapping of the state, its status and constitution needs to be reversed. All unconstitutional actions taken on August 5, 2019 and since, rolling out of measures to disenfranchise, disempower and humiliate the people of the state are unacceptable to the party.
The party calls for a united fight to restore the dignity and constitutional rights of the state that are enshrined in the Constitution of India. The party will extend unqualified support to other political parties in this joint fight and will look forward and welcome support of others. This is a call of history that we all can ignore only to our peril and annihilation of our distinct identity, culture and civilisational uniqueness.
The party has observed with deep concern and anguish the targeted attacks on unarmed civilians, especially our Pandit community. The stark failure of the government in ensuring their safety in homes, offices and private establishments is a painful reminder of the arrogance of rulers, their inefficiency and exposes their false, media driven claims of normalcy. It’s heartbreaking to see the efforts of all stakeholders made over many decades especially post 2002 to rehabilitate the Pandit community with dignity in the rightful homes receiving serious setback. PDP renews its commitment to the priority of bringing back the uprooted families with dignity, honour and economic empowerment.
The PDP has always cautioned against the evil designs of BJP to force a demographic change in the state. This sinister plan hits at the very foundation of our forefathers’ dreams and decision to align with a secular, inclusive India.…
