After participating in the Bhartiya Janata Party event to celebrate the August 05 complete merger day at Srinagar, Chairperson of the J&K Waqf Board Dr Syed Darakhshan Andrabi today spoke to media and said that in the garb of Special Status, local political parties promoted separatism and unrest fordecades in J&K, and the constitutional changes of 05 August 2019, paved way for lasting peace & the freedom from a long spell of bloodshed inJ&K. “These political parties are responsible for the killing of thousands of innocents who lost their lives because of their politics of exploitation and division. Now after the abrogation of 370, we got freedom from violence and bloodshed. We are now on the path of peace and development in J&K”, said Dr Darakhshan. In reply to a question about the demand for the restoration of Special status by the local political parties, Dr Andrabi said that the Parliament of our great nation took the decision and it was irreversible. “Fooling people by playing old records will yield no results. J&K doesn’t deserve to be dragged to the separatist outlook. Every citizen of J&K is a proud Indian having equal rights and opportunities in this great growing nation”, said Andrabi. She thanked the Prime Minister for fulfilling his promise to the people of J&K about the restoration of lasting peace and the era of development and growth.
