‘Kashmir Is An Integral Part Of India’: Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind Passes Resolution Backing Revocation Of Article 370
JUH leaders with Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a previous meeting.
One of the most prominent bodies of Islamic scholars in India, the Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind (JUH) has adopted a resolution backing the central government’s move to revoke Article 370 in Jammu & Kashmir (J&K), saying that the state is an integral part of India, reports India Today.
As part of its resolution, JUH also issued a condemnation of Kashmiri separatists wanting to break away from India.
"As such it [Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind] can never support any separatist movement, rather it considers such movements harmful not only for India but for the people of Kashmir as well," said the resolution.
The resolution added that while the body supported the decision of the Modi government, the sentiments of the Kashmiri people must also be kept in mind.
Interestingly, at the time of partition as well, the JUH had taken a firmly pro-India stance, refusing to back the demand for Pakistan.
