Virtually challenging the accession of Jammu and Kashmir with the Indian Union, PDP member Nizamuddin Bhat today said people of Kashmir had yet to take a decision on living with India.
Follow up:
Bhat, who was reacting to a statement by Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde on return of Afzal’s body, said if this policy of the Centre continued people of Kashmir would be forced to think whether to remain with India or not.
Shinde yesterday ruled out handing over Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru’s body to his family and said, “The body has been buried according to the jail manual and there is no way it can be handed over.”
Bhat said the Home Minister had rubbed salt on the wounds of the people of Kashmir.
Taking serious note of the utterance of the PDP member for questioning the integration of Jammu and Kashmir with the Indian Union, Public Health and Engineering Minister Sham Lal Sharma, who belongs to the Congress, said the MLAs had taken oath under the Constitution and he was duty bound to honour it.
“If any member questions the integration of the state with India, he should resign from the House and then make an unconstitutional statement,” Sharma said.
