Srinagar, Jan 10 (KNS) : Peoples Conference General Secretary Molvi Imran Reza Ansari has strongly affirmed that Jammu & Kashmir remains an indivisible entity, bound together by a shared history, deep economic interdependence, cultural links and a common future. He stated that attempts to portray it otherwise ignore both historical reality and ground sentiment.

Acknowledging regional disparities, Ansari noted that for decades, Kashmir has borne the brunt of conflict, instability and economic stagnation, while Jammu has witnessed greater progress in infrastructure, connectivity and access to opportunities. "This imbalance is real but exploiting it to argue for division is neither honest nor constructive," he asserted.

The General Secretary dismissed what he termed the "selective development" narrative, calling it a carefully crafted piece of political propaganda repeatedly pushed to justify fragmentation. He criticized a handful of individuals with clear malafide intent who are projecting themselves as spokespersons for entire J&K.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp Channel

"They do not represent Jammu and Kashmiris are not even part of these conversations. No individual or pressure group has the moral or democratic authority to speak on behalf of millions or to toy with the future of an entire region. These are not jokes or social media debates, they are serious matters with long-term consequences," Ansari emphasized.

Pointing to Ladakh's experience as a stark warning, he stated that fragmentation did not deliver the promised empowerment or stability; instead, it deepened alienation, uncertainty and administrative disconnect.

Ansari concluded that the way forward is not through division, but through unity, through the restoration of full statehood to the entire Jammu & Kashmir, equitable and region-balanced development, respect for democratic voices and a sustained commitment to peace and political empowerment for all its people.(KNS)
