Srinagar, Aug 02: BJP General Secretary Tarun Chug on Wednesday said that Supreme Court is the guardian of the rights of individuals and weaker sections of the society who were deprived of their rights before the abrogation of Article 370.
He was reacting to the statements of former chief ministers Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti and CPI(M) leader MY Tarigami that the people of Jammu and Kashmir have pinned their hopes of justice on the Supreme Court.
“They are just doing politics. What they mean by justice. Did they forget that the women of J&K were sufferers, while tribal population including Paharis, Valmakis, SCs, STs and West Pakistan refugees were deprived of their rights? They never raised their voice for their justice they are just doing politics,” Chugh said in a statement.
“They are misleading the people of Jammu and Kashmir with their slogan of justice. They had made hollow promises to the people and Article 370 was the biggest hindrance in the development of Jammu and Kashmir, especially the weaker sections,” the BJP leader said. “We have full faith in the judiciary that it will uphold the rights of weaker sections of the society who got empowered with the abrogation of Article 370.”
