Election Results Signal Strong Opposition to Article 370 Abrogation: Mirwaiz Umar Farooq
Mirwaiz Umar Farooq: Results message against Art 370 abrogation Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, the chairman of the Hurriyat Conference, has emphasized that the results of the recent Jammu and Kashmir assembly elections serve as a clear and unequivocal message against the central government's unilateral decision to abrogate Article 370 in 2019. He highlighted that the people of Jammu and Kashmir have expressed their strong disapproval of the drastic changes imposed upon them. In the recently concluded elections, the voters sent a unanimous and resolute message that they will resist any attempts to subjugate and disempower them. Through their consolidated ballot, they registered their strong disapproval of the unilateral changes made in August 2019. Since then, the people of Jammu and Kashmir have faced systematic disempowerment, deprivation, and the stifling of their voices. Mirwaiz Umar Farooq urged the incoming government to respect the voters' message and work towards restoring their rights and statehood. He called for an end to the systematic disempowerment and deprivation that the people have endured since the abrogation of Article 370. The election results, according to him, reflect the people's determination to reclaim their rights and assert their voices in the face of adversity.
