Srinagar: The Jammu and Kashmir Zamindar Forum (JKZF) on Saturday stirred a hornet’s nest as it were by demanding a written assurance from the Jammu and Kashmir National Conference (JKNC) leader and former chief minister Dr Farooq Abdullah that he will bring back Article 370 in lieu of the Forum’s support in the District Development Council (DDC).
The JK Zamindar Forum on Saturday alleged that the People’s Alliance for Gupkar Declaration (PAGD) is distributing mandates to their kith and kin and termed the group a “political gang”.
Speaking to the media here at Handwara in north Kashmir, JKZF president Abdul Hameed Malik remarked “If Dr Farooq Abdullah can give it in writing that he will bring back 370 we will support him”. He further alleged that the PAGD has started to give tickets to its kith and kin. He further added that J&K Zamindar Forum will contest the ensuing DDC polls on all the seats.
Appealing to the farmers to come out and put an end to their miseries, Malik said that it is the right time for farmers to come out from their houses and fight for their due rights. He said the farmer community has been ignored since long with the result their problems have been multiplied.
While hitting at the PAGD, he said the Gupkarians once again trying to cheat common masses as they are the same people who fought 2014 Assembly elections in the name of protecting Article 370 and 35(A), and added when such parties could not save the special status in past, how it is possible they will bring it back today.
Malik said that the main aim of J&K Zamindar Forum to contesting DDC polls is to ensure waive off Kisan Credit Card (KCC) loans to farmers.
