Srinagar: People’s Conference President Sajad Gani Lone on threatened to sit on a hunger strike in front of Parliament in Delhi if any attempt was made to change the demographics of Jammu and Kashmir.
“We as a party neither accept the clarification given by the government in totality nor do we reject it. We know the current administration here or in Delhi doesn’t hold political parties in J&K in high esteem,” the JKPC chief said while addressing media at srinagar.
“We will wait and watch. If there is an attempt to change the demography of J&K, we will go on hunger strike. The law (Representation of the Peoples Act 1951) is not a threat to us but the intentions of the government are a threat to us,” he said.
He said that he will not attend all-party meeting today over the issue of inclusion of outside voters in Jammu and Kashmir electoral rolls.
“I will not attend the all party meeting as no specific outcome has ever come out of it which is being pretended in the media,” he said in response to a question whether he will attend all party meeting which has been called by the National Conference president Farooq Abdullah at his Gupkar residence on Monday.
He also said that “We have been abusing each other every single day. how much and how come we pretend that everything is alright. “Believe me outcome of the government move with regard to the voters will not change whether we attend the all party meeting or not. If Farooq abdullah needs us, we are just a phone call away but we do not agree that Mehbooba Mufti will give any order that a party meeting should be called as the time of Mahraja Hari singh has passed.”
Lone added that he does not want to be a point scorer. “If something concrete comes out, then we will also support them. If they feel any unfavourable outcome on October 01, then they should also support us.” e also said that “if anything have to be done, then it should be away from media gaze.”(KNS)
