Hyderabad, August 25
CPI general secretary D Raja today said the situation in Kashmir was much worse than it is perceived outside the state. He said people are suffering and have no access to food, medicines and other essentials. A part of the Opposition delegation that visited Srinagar was forced to return from the airport.
Raja, who was here today, said the abrogation of provisions of Article 370 by the NDA government was not only undemocratic but also unconstitutional. “One the one hand, the Modi government has brought Kashmir at par with other states as per the Constitution, but at the same time it is unwilling to apply the Constitution to Kashmir”.
He said the Opposition leaders were first invited by the J&K Governor to come and see the situation in the state, but Raja, Rahul Gandhi and others in the 11-member delegation of the Opposition parties that landed at the Srinagar airport, were not even allowed to meet the people or venture out of the airport.
