Article 370 abrogation inflicted deep wound on J&K peoples emotions: Altaf Bukhari
Srinagar, Aug 28: Apni Party President Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari on Friday said that the abrogation of article 370 inflicted a deep wound into the emotions of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. He said that Congress and BJP are equally responsible because Congress had already hollowed this article out over the years while BJP revoked it completely. He made these remarks today while addressing a public convention in Tral today. The event, organised by the party, attracted a large gathering of local people, besides party workers from across the town. Apni Party leader further said that the people of Jammu and Kashmir had a deep emotional attachment to Article 370, despite the fact that its provisions had already hollowed out and eroded over the decades. Article 370 provided constitutional protection to our land and jobs, and that is why, following its abrogation along with Article 35A on August 5, 2019, the Apni Party pursued the matter with the Centre and ensured that the people of J&K must retain exclusive rights over land and employment in J&K. We succeeded in convincing the Centre and protected these rights, resulting in the introduction of the domicile law, he said. However, Bukhari said that there is a need for a dialogue between the Centre and the people of Jammu and Kashmir to address their issues. He said, There is an urgent need to make New Delhi understand the importance of initiating a dialogue with the people of Jammu and Kashmir, especially the youth, to address their genuine issues and concerns. This is imperative to bridge the existing trust deficit. Since the elected government has failed to address the pressing issues being faced by the people here, we will urge the Centre to engage directly with them to ensure that these issues are addressed effectively. We hope that our frequent appeals in this regard reach the Centre and that it initiates a dialogue with the people of Jammu and Kashmir, as it had promised, he added. He also take a dig at the ruling NC and said that this party has always prioritised its power on the interests of the people in Jammu and Kashmir. He further said, NC has never fulfilled the promises it has made to the people. Its poll promises are the most recent example of this. It sought votes by promising to provide one lakh jobs soon after assuming power. It had also promised 200 units of free electricity, free gas cylinders, the regularisation of daily wagers, and much more. However, all these promises have proved to be hollow and remain unfulfilled. He urged the people to rid themselves of these traditional parties, which have always misled and deceived them with false promises and emotional slogans. He went on the say, During its election campaign, the NC had claimed that, after assuming power, it would ensure the restoration of Articles 370 and 35A. However, it has now reduced its demand to the restoration of statehood alone. This is nothing but political drama, and they have always resorted to such tactics. In his speech, Bukhari also highlighted the local pressing issues that the people in Tral are facing. He expressed grave concern over the lack of adequate facilities and infrastructure at local hospitals and schools. He said, I dont know what the local MLA, who has been given the mandate to ensure that such issues are addressed, is doing. Since he is a public representative, he must ensure that these issues are properly addressed. He should speak to the concerned Minister, and if that doesnt work, he must take the people who voted for him out in protest. This is not about anything personal; it is about the public mandate. Apni Party President Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari said that Tral has great potential for tourism, which, if properly explored and developed, can bring economic benefits to the local people and create much-needed employment opportunities for the youth. He said the area is blessed with abundant natural resources and scenic beauty, which should be utilised effectively for sustainable development, livelihood generation, and the overall prosperity of the local population. Bukhari expressed concern over the arrests of youth and said that the Apni Party is continuously striving to ensure that random arrests are stopped and that those detained are released so that they can return to a normal life. Talking about the Sikh community, Bukhari demanded political reservation for the community to ensure that its rights are fully protected. He said that the Sikh community has always stood shoulder to shoulder with the Muslim community, even during the most challenging times of violence and bloodshed in J&K. Addressing the gathering, former Cabinet Minister and Apni Party Senior Vice President Ghulam Hassan Mir said that Apni Party is a party of the masses and will always remain the voice of the people. He said this party will continue to raise genuine public issues and grievances with the concerned authorities to ensure their timely redressal. He said, We are not here today to seek your votes, as there are no elections scheduled in the near future. We are here to tell you that Apni Party is truly a peoples party and will always stand by the people, no matter what. We need your support. Join hands with Apni Party and help strengthen it. Together, we can ensure that the rights and interests of our people are protected, while working collectively for sustained peace, prosperity, and development in Jammu and Kashmir. He further said, The difference between Apni Party and the traditional political parties is that Apni Party focuses on genuine public issues and works to address the concerns of the people, while traditional parties continue to mislead and befool the public with false promises and emotional slogans. Apni Party is here to prevent exploitative political forces from misleading our youth and pushing them towards a path of jails and graveyards. We envision a peaceful, prosperous, and dignified future for our youthone where they have opportunities to grow, succeed, and contribute positively to the future of Jammu and Kashmir, he added. On this occasion, NC worker Karan Singh, PDP worker Mohammad Amin, Social Activist Muzafar Bhat, Mohammad Younis Dar from congress joined Apni Party. The party leaders greeted these new entrants into the party fold. Besides Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari and Ghulam Hassan Mir, the prominent party leaders who were present on the occasion included partys Chief Spokesperson & State Secretary Muntazir Mohiudin, District President Kupwara Raja Manzoor, State organisation & Spokesperson Dr Harbaksh Singh, District President Budgam Advocate Owais Ashraf Shah, District Vice President Pulwama Sofi Akbar, District Vice President Pulwama Abdul Qayoom Mir, Secretary Pulwama District Syeed Tajala Andrabi, Youth President District Pulwama Junaid Mir, Abdul Rahman Gojir, Ghulam Hassan Goursi, Ghulam Hassan Choupan, Abdul Majid, Rashid Gojir, Youth Leaders Huq Nawaz, Zahid Bhat, Sajad Naikoo, Bita, Imtiyaz Mulvi, Irfan, Junaid, Javeed,Amir Reshi, Asif, Nirmal Singh, Abdul Rashid, Lucky Singh, Mohammad Shafi, Gul Dar, Shabir Baba, Yusuf Gojir, Mushtaq , Nund Kak, Bashir Ahamed , Jangi Singh, and others.

Raksha Bandhan in Kashmir: A Festival That Travelled with People
Raksha Bandhan arrives every year with the full moon of Shravan, carrying with it a simple yet profound messagethe bond of protection, affection and responsibility between human beings. Across India, the festival is most commonly associated with the relationship between a brother and sister. A sister ties the sacred thread around her brothers wrist, offers a prayer for his well-being, and the brother, in return, promises to stand by her. Yet, like many Indian festivals, Raksha Bandhan has meanings that go far beyond the ritual itself. For the Kashmiri Pandit community, its significance is inseparable from the memories of a homeland where festivals were woven into the ordinary fabric of life. Yes, Kashmiri Pandits did observe Raksha Bandhan in Kashmir. It was not necessarily among the most prominent festivals of the Kashmiri Hindu calendar in the manner of Herath, Navreh or other distinctly Kashmiri observances, but Shravan Purnima and the sacred-thread tradition were familiar parts of religious and family life. The celebration existed within the larger spiritual culture of Kashmir, where festivals were rarely merely social occasions. They were expressions of faith, family, community and continuity. For a Kashmiri Pandit growing up in the Valley, the festival would not have stood apart from the rhythms of everyday life. The house, the courtyard, the neighbourhood and the extended family were all part of the celebration. Festivals were experienced collectively. Relatives visited one another, children moved from house to house, elders blessed the younger generation, and food became another language through which affection was expressed. The ritual itself might have been brief, but the emotions surrounding it could remain in the memory for decades. This is what makes the recollection of Raksha Bandhan particularly moving for those Kashmiri Pandits who left the Valley. Migration did not merely mean leaving behind houses, orchards, fields and ancestral property. It also meant leaving behind a particular way of celebrating life. Festivals had been attached to places. A particular courtyard had witnessed a particular Raksha Bandhan. A sister had tied a rakhi to her brother in a room whose walls had absorbed generations of family conversations. An elderly grandmother had blessed the children. A mother had prepared something special for the occasion. A neighbour had arrived unannounced. These seemingly insignificant moments eventually became the fragments from which the memory of an entire homeland was reconstructed. This is perhaps the deeper meaning of festivals in the life of a displaced community. When people lose their physical landscape, rituals often become their portable homeland. A festival can travel where a house cannot. A prayer can survive when an ancestral courtyard has been abandoned. A family tradition can cross mountains and generations without requiring a piece of land. Raksha Bandhan therefore acquired an additional emotional dimension for many Kashmiri Pandit families after their migration. It became not simply a celebration of the brother-sister relationship but also a reminder of the world that once existed around that relationship. The thread tied on a brothers wrist could evoke memories of a Kashmir that had been left behind. There is an important distinction, however, between the traditional observance of Raksha Bandhan among Kashmiri Pandits and the highly commercialised version of the festival that has become increasingly visible in contemporary India. In Kashmir, the sacred-thread tradition existed within a religious and cultural framework shaped by the unique practices of Kashmiri Hindu society. The modern rakhiwith elaborate gifts, advertisements, social-media celebrations and commercial packagingis only one contemporary expression of a much older tradition. The word raksha itself carries a meaning far deeper than the exchange of gifts. Protection is not necessarily a one-way obligation from brother to sister. In the older civilisational understanding, protection is reciprocal. Families protect one another; communities protect their traditions; elders protect memories; and younger generations protect what has been handed down to them. A sacred thread can therefore become a symbol of responsibility rather than merely a decorative object. This understanding becomes particularly meaningful in the Kashmiri Pandit context. A community that experienced displacement had to protect something more fragile than property: its collective memory. Language, rituals, cuisine, religious practices, festivals, family stories and ancestral memories all became part of a cultural inheritance that needed to be carried forward. The Kashmiri Pandit calendar itself contains many distinctive festivals and observances that developed within the Valley's particular cultural environment. Herath, for example, occupies an extraordinary place in Kashmiri Pandit consciousness. Navreh marks the Kashmiri New Year and carries associations with renewal and continuity. There are numerous other observances connected with particular seasons, deities and local traditions. Raksha Bandhan therefore should not be presented as though it historically occupied exactly the same position in Kashmiri Pandit life as it did in every other part of northern India. Its place was real, but its cultural expression was shaped by Kashmir's own religious universe. What is remarkable is how such traditions survived geographical separation. A child who grew up in Jammu, Delhi, Dehradun or another city after migration could still participate in Raksha Bandhan without ever having experienced the Kashmir of his or her parents. The festival thus became a bridge between generations. Parents could tell their children how festivals were observed in Kashmir. Grandparents could recall relatives who were no longer there. Old photographs could emerge from cupboards. Names of villages and neighbourhoods could become part of family conversations. In this manner, a simple thread could become an instrument of remembrance. The younger generation may not always understand the emotional weight carried by such memories. For them, Raksha Bandhan may simply mean a rakhi, sweets, gifts and a family gathering. But for those who remember Kashmir before migration, the festival can contain another layer of meaning. It can take them back to a time when distance between relatives was measured not in hundreds of kilometres but in a short walk from one house to another. There is also a wider lesson here about Kashmiri culture. Kashmir has often been described through its mountains, lakes, gardens, poetry and mysticism. But the real culture of a people resides equally in its small ritualsthe way a lamp is lit, the way elders are greeted, the food prepared on a particular day, the words spoken during a ceremony, and the manner in which one generation passes something to another. When people are displaced, these small things become enormously important. A culture does not disappear simply because its people leave a particular geographical space. It disappears when its memories cease to be transmitted. This is why the continuation of festivals among Kashmiri Pandits matters. Every observance becomes an act of cultural preservation. Every child who learns why a festival is celebrated becomes a link in a chain that stretches backwards into history. Raksha Bandhan, in this sense, can be seen as one of those threadsnot merely the thread tied around the wrist, but the invisible thread connecting generations. It connects the sister with the brother, the child with the parent, the present with the past, and the displaced family with the homeland that continues to live in memory. There is something profoundly poetic about this. The physical thread is small and fragile. It can be broken with almost no effort. Yet the idea represented by it can survive decades of separation. A house can be locked. An orchard can be abandoned. A village can become distant. But a ritual remembered by a family can continue to exist. For Kashmiri Pandits, therefore, Raksha Bandhan is not only about asking who will protect whom. It can also prompt a larger question: who will protect the memories of the culture that our ancestors entrusted to us? Perhaps the answer lies with every generation. The brother and sister who exchange a rakhi today may not know all the stories associated with the festival's past. But if they preserve the ritual, tell their children about it, remember how their parents celebrated it and connect it with the wider cultural heritage of Kashmir, they are doing something far greater than observing a festival. They are keeping alive a fragment of a civilisation. And perhaps this is why festivals become especially precious after displacement. In one's homeland, traditions can sometimes be taken for granted because they surround us everywhere. In exile, their value becomes clearer. A festival becomes a doorway through which one can briefly return to a lost world. Raksha Bandhan will once again arrive with the full moon of Shravan. Sisters will tie threads, brothers will offer gifts, families will gather and sweets will be exchanged. But for many Kashmiri Pandits, somewhere beneath these familiar celebrations there may also be another, quieter ritualthe remembering of Kashmir. A Kashmir of homes, courtyards, grandparents, siblings, neighbours and festivals. A Kashmir that may have been left physically behind, but which continues to live in memory. And perhaps that is the most enduring raksha of all:the protection of memory itself. (The writer can be reached at: sanjaypanditasp@gmail.com )
