Srinagar, April 08: Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced on Tuesday that three more political organizations from Jammu and Kashmir have severed ties with the All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC), calling it a significant shift towards the Indian Constitution in the Valley.
He wrote on the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter), “Three more organizations, namely Jammu and Kashmir Islamic Political Party, Jammu and Kashmir Muslim Democratic League, and Kashmir Freedom Front, disassociate themselves from the Hurriyat. It is a prominent demonstration of the people’s trust in the Constitution of India within the Valley.”
The leaders of these organizations — Mohammad Yousuf Naqash, Chairman of the Islamic Political Party Jammu and Kashmir; Hakeem Abdul Rashid, Chairman of the Muslim Democratic League Jammu and Kashmir; and Bashir Ahmad Andrabi, Chairman of the Kashmir Freedom Front — have formally distanced themselves and their parties from the Hurriyat and its ideology.
He further added in the post on X, “Modi ji’s vision for a united and powerful Bharat stands even more bolstered today, as so far 11 such organizations have shunned separatism, proclaiming unwavering support for it.”
This development is seen as part of the central government’s broader efforts to weaken separatist influence in Jammu and Kashmir and reinforce constitutional integration. (KDC)
