Jammu, Nov 07: The West Pakistan Refugees (WPRs) on Thursday held a strong protest demonstration against the Omar Abdullah led NC Government for passing the resolution in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly demanding restoration of the erstwhile J&K State’s special status.
The protesters also demanded the implementation of Article 371 of the Indian Constitution in J&K.
They said that the ruling National Conference and Kashmir based parties are fooling the people with fake promises of restoring Article 370, which has been abrogated by the Indian Parliament.
Led by the West Pakistani Refugees Association president, Labha Ram Gandhi, hundreds of refugees assembled in Jammu City and held protest against the resolution.
Carrying national flags, the WPRs shouted slogans against the NC, its leaders, and Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Kumar Choudhary, stating that no power on the earth can restore Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir.
Gandhi demanded for the imposition of Article 371 in J&K, saying, “It (Article 371) is applicable in Himachal Pradesh also”.
He also emphasized that the lands and jobs of the people should be protected in J&K.
