Jammu and Kashmir Separatists Sever Ties, Embrace Unity with India

Two constituents of the Hurriyat Conference in Jammu and Kashmir, JKPM and JKDPM, announced they are cutting ties with separatist activities, choosing to align with India's constitution instead. This move is seen as a victory for India's unity, as asserted by Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

In a significant political shift, two constituents of the Hurriyat Conference, the Jammu and Kashmir People's Movement (JKPM) and the J&K Democratic Political Movement (JKDPM), have declared their dissociation from separatist agendas. This announcement was made by Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday, hailing it as a step that fortifies India's unity.

The JKPM, led by Shahid Saleem, and the JKDPM, under the leadership of Shafi Reshi, have publicly renounced the separatist ideology. Saleem emphasized his and his organization's allegiance to the Indian constitution, distancing from the All Parties Hurriyat Conference's (APHC) stance, which, he claims, failed to meet the aspirations of Jammu and Kashmir's people.

This development is portrayed as a triumph for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of a developed and unified Bharat. Shah credited the Modi government's unifying policies for diminishing separatism in the region, urging similar groups to abandon divisive agendas.
