Against Kashmir Occupation

The revolutionary organisation,Lok Morcha Punjab strongly condemns the step of Modi government of abrogation of Article 370 and division of Jammu and Kashmir ,without the consent of its people, into two,making both the regions UTs under direct control of centre government.The steps reiterate the fact that democracy in India is sham and people's will is crushed by armed state power at every step.
The state organising secretary Jagmail Singh and state comm. member Sheerin of the organisation,releasing a press statement on Tuesday said that the Article 370 is not a concession to kashmiris,but an historical agreement which became the basis of Kashmir's decision of temporary accesion with India.In 1947,the promise was given by Indian government to Maharaja Hari Singh to conduct the plebiscite and to stand by the outcome of this plebiscite- whether it be of joining Pakistan,joining India or remaining independent.But Indian state kept turning back from this promise step by step and continued ruling the Kahmir exercising its armed power.The demand of kashmiris of right to self determination,expressed vehmently again and again,has been crushed with bullets,pallet guns,tear gas and all kind of oppressive measures.Now Modi government exhibiting further the fascist chracter of Indian regime,has taken this extremely oppressive,undemocratic and fascist step.
Its not only that the opinion of the people from rest of India has not been taken on this sensative issue,but the Kashmiris,whose fate is being determined,are kept away from decision making and every step is taken to supress their voice.Preplanned anticipatory measures have been taken to bludgeon their resistence.Valley saw internet ,phone and mobile services snapped,Kashmiri leaders arrested,tourists ordered to go back,article 144 imposed,terror spread with rumors of terrorist attack,Kashmir turned into an open jail and addition of 10000 troops to existing strength of about 7 lac armed forces.These steps clearly reflect the undemocratic and autocratic chracter of Indian state.
The organisation expressing solidarity with kashmiri people demanded withdrawl of army from the valley,reinstatement of article 370,right to self determination and repeal of AFSPA.
In past,Modi government has been trying to use Kashmir agenda for its narrow poltical ends.Efforts have been made to antagonise people from rest of India against Kashmiris by communal and national chauvenistic mobilisations.The Lok Morcha Punjab leaders cautioned people against such efforts and called upon them to hail the right of Kashmiris of self determination and give determined fight against abolition of Article 370.The leaders also called upon kashmiris to become a part of people's revolutionary movement and join toiling masses of rest of the India to thwart the semi colonial-semi feudal Indian regime which is the root of all oppression,injustice and exploitation.
