Jammu, December 7

Amidst uncertainty and confusion over protection of job and land rights of the locals after scrapping of Article 370, J&K unit of the BJP on Saturday assured the people that their rights would be protected to ‘permissible maximum’ limits under the Constitution.

The BJP accused Opposition parties and groups of making “false and irresponsible” statements to incite public on the issue.

In a statement issued this evening, chief spokesman for J&K BJP Sunil Sethi said, “The government is already working to protect to the maximum permissible limit under the Constitution of India the right of local population for land ownership, industries and jobs and there is no need for any person to worry on that account.”

He claimed that Jammu and Kashmir was in the “safest political hands” of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah and people should pay no heed to any “misgivings and misinformation” by people with vested interests.

“The applicability of the Constitution to Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir in toto and consequential abolition of discriminatory Art 370 and Art 35A as also erstwhile state Constitution is the biggest constitutional change since Independence and this huge development has taken place to give justice and equality to all Indians, including residents of Jammu Kashmir and Ladakh,” he stated and pointed out this development would bring and ensure all-round development and equality in all regions of J&K.
