Srinagar, July 06, 2023 (PPI-OT): The National Conference Vice President, Omar Abdullah, has questioned the authorities in occupied Jammu and Kashmir over ‘Land for Landless’ issue and asked them to come clean who are homeless in the territory and how they are being categorized. Omar Abdullah talking to media in Budgam said that the authorities should first clear the doubts about who are homeless, and how they are categorising them.
He said that the LG administration should look at whom they are going to give accommodation on Kah Charai land and those who came here after 370 should not be included. “The administration should first verify who is homeless in J and K and then after the orders should come. Are you counting those people homeless as well who came to J and K just a week ago? I think those who came to Kashmir after 2019 shouldn’t be included in the scheme. We know the government has brought a huge number of outsiders in J and K after August 2019,” Omar Abdullah said.
To a query on plans of imposing Uniform Civil Code by Bharatiya Janata Party, he said the NC will never support those bills which will harm minority communities in the country. On hearing Article 370 by the Indian Supreme Court in the upcoming days, he said the proceedings cannot happen overnight. “First SC has to issue notices to the Government and then proceedings will be taken up. There are two MPs from the National Conference who are its petitioners. We will put forth our argument and try to get justice for the people of J and K”, he maintained.
