Srinagar: The ruling National Conference on Friday said that Congress has no right to misinterpret the resolution passed by the Jammu & Kashmir Assembly in its first session.
In a post on X, formerly Twitter, NC’s MP from the Srinagar Lok Sabha segment, Aga Ruhullah Mehdi, said that “no INC president or JKPCC president has a right to misinterpret the resolution passed by the J&K Legislative Assembly in the last session.”
“The purpose of that resolution is to express the people’s disapproval of all the amendments and unconstitutional abrogation of the guaranteed (Special) Status of J&K from the year 1953 to 2019,” he said.
He added that the resolution calls for the return of all the guarantees in their original shape and form as they were operational before 1953, including Article 370 and 35A.
“Let alone JKPCC or any other entity. Even if anyone from within @JKNC_ tries to misinterpret the resolution otherwise and against the wishes of the people, they will be rejected and pushed by the people to a corner of irrelevance as the allies of BJP were in the last election,” he said.
Ruhullah’s remarks came on the day when Congress J&K unit president Tariq Hamid Karra said that the resolution has not raised the demand for the restoration of Article 370, nor is there any mention of it.
Karra said the demand for restoration of Article 370 was neither raised in the resolution passed by Jammu & Kashmir Assembly, nor is there any mention of it.
The party has already made its stance clear on the issue when J&K Assembly passed the resolution, he said.
“We have already said that the only thing left to demand after the Supreme Court verdict on Article 370 is statehood,” he said.
He said the demand for restoration of Article 370 was not raised in the resolution, nor is there any mention of it.
Karra, who represents central Shalteng Assembly segment, said the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is misrepresenting facts for political gains.
“Despite our clear-cut statement, the BJP is misrepresenting facts in elections,” he said.
On the recent statement of Congress president Malikarjun Kharge, Karra said that he has asked BJP to tell who has talked about reinstating Article 370
