\nCommunist Party of India\u2013Marxist (CPI-M) MLA M Y Tarigami has called for an all-party meeting to discuss what he termed the \u201cdisempowerment\u201d of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir and to press for the restoration of statehood, describing it as a crucial test of Indian democracy.
\nAccording to Kashmir Media Service, Tarigami urged Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to convene the proposed meeting, criticizing the weakening of the Legislative Assembly and the continued erosion of the territory\u2019s powers despite what he described as a \u201chistoric\u201d public mandate.
\nHe ridiculed the Modi regime\u2019s oft-repeated claim that Jammu and Kashmir is an \u201cintegral part\u201d of India, questioning, \u201cIf J&K is an integral part, then restore democracy here too.\u201d
\nThe CPI-M leader also expressed concern over the deteriorating security situation in the territory, stating that people are increasingly harassed on the basis of minor or unsubstantiated allegations. He called for an immediate end to the profiling of mosques and religious leaders, including Imams.
\nAdditionally, Tarigami raised issues related to inadequate disaster relief, reservation policies, and demolition drives, emphasizing that all actions must be carried out within the bounds of law and constitutional guarantees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
