Srinagar, Aug 25: Former Union Minister Saifuddin Soz has said that it is wrong for anybody to collect signatures for restoration of statehood as “nobody can take it away.”
In a press release Soz said, “The people like me are waiting for the Peoples’ Movement for restoration of the Autonomy enshrined in Article 370 of the Constitution of India.”
“It is because of this provision of the Constitution of India that the most popular leader of J&K State, Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah had supported J&K State’s accession to India,” Soz added. He said the “Government of India has now wrongfully abrogated Article 370 of the Constitution of India.” The real demand of the people of the J&K State is restoration of internal autonomy as enshrined in the Article 370 of the Constitution of India, Soz added.
