Domicile law akin to murder of democracy: Nazimuddin

SRINAGAR — Jammu Kashmir Save Front has flayed the Domicile Law for Jammu and Kashmir, saying it is aimed to change the demography of erstwhile State.

The party patron Mufti Nazimuddin accused BJP-led government in New Delhi of speeding up new ordinances in the midst of a pandemic to change demography of Jammu and Kashmir.

“We appeal Prime Minister of India to take back this law which has been implemented against the wishes and aspirations of people of Jammu and Kashmir,” Mufti Nazimuddin said.

Terming the Domicile law as a murder of democracy, he said that Supreme Court of India and the Modi-led government are working in tandem to usurp the democratic rights of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.

He also flayed Government of India for implementing Building Operations Act. He said that construction of over 1 lakh structures for Army personnel will change Kashmir into a colony and it will completely change the demography of Jammu and Kashmir.

“After the abrogation of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir, the political voices have fallen silent. Jammu Kashmir Save Front Party has decided to organize a strong sustained democratic and transparent movement for restoration of democratic and constitutional rights of the people,” he said.
