Jammu and Kashmiris cannot wait any longer as there is no other government.

People have lost patience because of mis-governance by bureaucratic and authoritarian rule.

“There is no substitute for the elections, and the way that the government is dilly-dallying with the delimitation report, suggests they don’t intend to hold polls in the near future.”

Abdullah also denied the claims of normalcy within the Kashmir Valley, stating that they (the central leaders), remained in denial about the departure of Kashmiri Pandits Kashmir from Kashmir in the wake recent civilian deaths.

He claimed that they also mislead about the tourism revival.

The height of it all is that no one in the media has the courage to report objectively or fearlessly, as they are being charged with serious crimes for reporting facts.

He expressed concern over the alleged unprecedented media gauge, and called for legislation to ensure complete freedom to press, with the caveat that no report should be made that could jeopardize the harmony and brotherhood of the community.

“How can you expect a free media when the media houses are starved of advertisements in case they report against government interests?

“The media should be free to express the concerns of the people freely, and without fear.He said that he always supported free media because it is the essence and essence of democracy.

Abdullah referred to the OBC Cell resolutions regarding, inter alia the restoration of special status and statehood Jammu and Kashmir.He said that the people will fight peacefully for their rights democratically and with a sense o commitment.

He said that they will weather all storms and will remain determined in regaining what was taken from them.

Three resolutions were adopted earlier by the convention.

They sought to rollback Article 370 to Jammu & Kashmir’s revocation, restoration of statehood, issuance a one-time category certificate for OBCs, and political reservation for these communities based on the analogy between Scheduled Caste communities and Scheduled Tribes.
