Pandit body seeks ban on NC, PDP over stand on Article 370

Published on: 

Panun Kashmir, an organisation representing Kashmiri pandit migrants, on Monday appealed to the Election Commission to ban candidates of the NC and the PDP from contesting the Lok Sabha polls as they were running a "seditious and secessionist" campaign in the valley.

The campaign launched by the National Conference and the Peoples Democratic Party that accession of Jammu & Kashmir with India was conditional and abrogation of Article 370 will lead to separation of the State from India is preposterous and has seditious connotation, the organisation said.

"NC and PDP have embarked upon a brazenly seditious and secessionist campaign. They are virtually acting as over ground flanks of Pakistan and the separatist establishment in Jammu & Kashmir," Convenor of Panun Kashmir Agnishakher said.

"We appeal to the EC to take notice of the seditious nature of the election campaign launched by NC and PDP in Jammu & Kashmir and ban their candidates from contesting the forth coming Parliamentary elections in the State," he said.
