The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference on Monday denounced the real estate summit held in Jammu, saying the proposed measures will “inevitably imperil the rights of locals over their land and natural resources.” “Such measures expose the sinister plans which the ruling dispensation is up to in J&K.
Sadly, Jammu and Kashmir have the atrocious appellation of being a highly dispossessed region. The priority of the government should have been to give a sense of entitlement to people and not shear them of their exclusive land rights,” party spokesperson Imran Nabi Dar said.
Union Ministry for Housing and Urban Affairs and the J&K government organised the Jammu and Kashmir Real Estate Summit (2021), which was held today. Calling the real estate summit a theatre of the absurd, Imran said NC would not remain silent to this “authoritarian and accelerated transformation of Jammu and Kashmir, which comes straight from RSS’s vision and agenda”. “It is also a brazen attempt of RSS-BJP to use Jammu and Kashmir for scapegoating widespread economic failures, farmer issues, and raging unemployment across the country,” he added. Imran accused the ruling dispensation at the centre of putting J&K up for sale.
“The main idea behind these exercises is to textually bury J&K’s particularistic or special identity, which New Delhi has promised to protect at the time of J&K’s accession. They had promised to preserve Kashmir’s identity within what is now popularly called the idea of India. This new move is yet another story in the saga of never-ending injustices and historical injustices with Jammu and Kashmir,” he added.
