Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury on Thursday said his party would continue to oppose the abrogation of Article 370 in Jammu & Kashmir.
“We stood with the people of Jammu & Kashmir. We will work for the realisation of the assurances provided in the Constitution to the people of Jammu & Kashmir. We had and continue to oppose the abrogation of Article 370, and our party has challenged the [J&K] Re-organization Act and new land laws in the Supreme Court,” Mr. Yechury said.
He said that in order to safeguard the Indian Constitution and the secular democratic character of the Indian republic, the CPI(M) will work for the realisation and aspirations of the people of J&K. “It is essential to isolate and defeat the BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party). We appeal to all secular forces to close ranks in order to save India for a better future,” he added.
