PAGD meeting begins at Mehbooba’s residence

SRINAGAR — The Peoples Alliance for Gupkar Declaration (PAGD) has expressed disappointment at the outcome of the July 24 all-party meeting of unionist political leaders of Jammu and Kashmir and has decided to reach out to other political parties in the union territory to take a common position on restoration of its statehood ahead of Assembly elections.

The PAGD met on Sunday evening under the chairmanship of its president, Farooq Abdullah, at his residence in Srinagar. The meeting attended by Mehbooba Mufti, Mohammad Yusuf Tarigami, Justice (retd) Hasnain Masoodi, Javed Mustafa Mir and Muzaffar Ahmed Shah, was called to discuss the recent meeting chaired by the Prime Minister in Delhi.

According to a statement, the PAGD reiterated its commitment to fight together to reverse the unconstitutional and unacceptable changes foisted on the people of J&K on August 5, 2019, using all constitutional, legal and political means at its disposal.

The conglomerate said its struggle for undoing these changes will continue as long as it takes while striving to achieve this objective as early as possible.

All the members of the PAGD expressed their disappointment at the outcome of the Delhi meeting especially at the absence of any substantial Confidence Building Measures (CBMs) such as releasing political and other prisoners from jails and taking concrete steps to end the siege and atmosphere of suppression that has choked J&K since 2019.

“This would have initiated the much-needed process of reaching out to the people of J&K who are the biggest stakeholders and sufferers of the J&K problem,” the statement said.

“As far as the restoration of statehood is concerned, it has been BJP’s commitment on the floor of the Parliament and they must honour their word. So any Assembly election must be held only after the restoration of full statehood for J&K,” it added.

“To this end, the PAGD has decided to reach out to other political parties in J&K with a view to take a common position on the issue,” the statement said.
