Government opens land, housing to every citizen of India

SRINAGAR — While reacting to the Real Estate Summit that was held in Jammu, former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah warned the people of Jammu to beware of the motives of the government.

In response to a tweet that government opens land, housing in J&K to every citizen of India, Omar Abdullah said: “Once again the true intentions of the government are brought to the fore. While offering to secure the land, jobs, domicile laws & identity of the people of Ladakh, J&K is being put up for sale. People of Jammu should beware, “investors” will buy up land in Jammu long before Kashmir.”

Mehbooba Mufti also tweeted, “J&K’s special status was illegally revoked to dehumanise, dispossess & disempower the only Muslim majority state in India. GOIs brazen loot & sale of our resources shows that the sole motive is to annihilate our identity & change the demography.”

Pertinently, Jammu and Kashmir administration signed 39 MoUs worth Rs 18,300 crore with the country’s real investors for the development of housing and commercial projects in Jammu and Kashmir.
