A report released by the Concerned Citizens Group, headed by former Union Finance Minister Yashwant Sinha, said that it appears that the situation in Kashmir has returned to normal, but people are still at the center to end the special status of Jammu and Kashmir. We are not able to accept the 2019 decision.
The group was on a visit to Kashmir from 30 March to 2 April. This was the group’s third visit to the Union Territory after the Union Government abolished Article 370 of the Constitution and the eighth visit after violence in the valley after the killing of terrorist Burhan Wani in July 2016.
“The Concerned Citizens Group (CCG) has represented representatives of all sections of civil society groups, industrialists / businessmen, leaders, newly elected members of the District Development Council, human rights activists, representatives of Kashmiri Pandits, Shia leaders,” the group said in a statement. And the leaders, especially after August 5, 2019, were sent to jail and then met the released leaders. ”
The report said that the situation in Kashmir now looks ‘more normal’ than the group’s previous visit. According to the statement, “Kashmir looks peaceful. People are going to their daily work. Life seems to be more normal now than in our previous visit. “The group, however, claimed that the people of the Union Territory are still not ready to accept the decision to abolish special status of Jammu and Kashmir.”
This big thing said in the report
“When asked about the normalcy of the situation, people say, even after two years of lockdown, life has to go on,” the report said. He claims that he has to work to lead a life and think about the future of his children. But, at the same time, they do not forget to say that it should not be assumed that we have adopted the decision of August 5, 2019. “
In the report, the CCG has also said that there is no place in social media, print or electronic media to speak or criticize against government policies and police action. It says, “Journalism has been criminalized in a way. Civil society demonstrations are not allowed. Political parties are allowed to hold rallies. The police does not hesitate to summon journalists and common people and does not hesitate to send them into custody under the Public Safety Act.
