Statehood delay deepening public disappointment: NC
Srinagar, July 22: Jammu and Kashmir National Conference (NC) Provincial President Showkat Ahmad Mir on Wednesday said the continued delay in restoration of Jammu and Kashmirs statehood has deepened public disappointment and strengthened the resolve of people to pursue their democratic rights through peaceful and constitutional means. Mir said the party exercised patience for nearly two years, relying on repeated assurances by the Union Government before Parliament, the Supreme Court and the people that statehood would be restored after the Assembly elections. Having honoured every democratic process with responsibility and restraint, we were left with no option but to intensify our peaceful movement for the restoration of the people's constitutional and democratic rights, he said. He said the campaign began with the public convention at Hazratbal on July 11 and gained further momentum with the demonstration held in New Delhi, where political parties, social organisations and civil society groups participated in support of the demand for restoration of statehood and democratic rights. Statehood is not a favour to be granted at convenience. It is a constitutional commitment and the democratic right of the people of Jammu & Kashmir, Mir said, adding that the assurance was given before Parliament, reiterated before the people and affirmed before the Supreme Court. Reaffirming the NCs position, Mir said the party would continue its peaceful and constitutional struggle for restoration of Jammu and Kashmirs statehood, which he described as an essential step towards strengthening democratic institutions and protecting peoples rights and aspirations.

Ashok Bhan calls for protection of peaceful democratic dissent
Srinagar, July 22: Senior Supreme Court advocate and Distinguished Fellow at the International Law Centre, Ashok Bhan, on Wednesday underscored the need to protect the constitutional right to peaceful protest, saying allegations of excessive police action against peaceful demonstrators should be examined through a fair, impartial and transparent inquiry. Addressing a meeting of young lawyers organised by the Lawyers Guild, Bhan said the recent reports surrounding police action during a peaceful protest by youth and students in Delhi had raised important constitutional questions regarding the protection of democratic dissent. He said the Constitution guarantees the freedoms of speech, peaceful assembly and association under Article 19, and that any restrictions on these rights must be lawful, necessary and proportionate. Bhan observed that if peaceful demonstrations were met with disproportionate police action, arbitrary detention or excessive use of force, it would raise serious constitutional concerns requiring an impartial inquiry. He said such accountability was essential to strengthening public confidence in the rule of law. Describing the police as guardians of the Constitution, Bhan said their role was to facilitate peaceful democratic expression while maintaining public order, adding that coercive powers should remain an exception rather than the norm. He also stressed that peaceful dissent should not be viewed as disorder merely because it challenges those in authority, noting that constitutional principles apply equally to every citizen, political party and civil society organisation. Bhan urged governments to reassure citizens that peaceful protest would be protected while calling upon protest organisers to ensure demonstrations remain peaceful and respectful of public order. He said preserving democratic freedoms required an impartial police force, an independent judiciary, a free press and an unwavering commitment to constitutional values.
