64 ‘stateless state subjects’ slam Centre’s ‘stealthy’ move

NEW DELHI: A group of 64 Kashmiris, including Air Vice Marshal (Retd) Kapil Kak and eminent cardiologist Dr Upendra Kaul, have signed a petition referring to themselves as “stateless state-subjects” who “unequivocally condemn the abrogation of Article 370”.
The petitioners say they consider the nullification of Article 370 “made in stealth and using coercive means, to be unconstitutional and in violation of the historical promises made to the peoples’ of J&K by the Union of India.”
The petition calls out the “clandestine manner in which Government of India proceeded in the matter”.
The signatories include theatre veteran MK Raina and academic, author and columnist Badri Raina.
The petitioners, mostly Kashmiri Pandits, Dogras and Sikhs, are drawn from all walks of life: retired government officials, businessmen, home-makers, activists and journalists.
