Unity Needs To Be Restored In Kashmir: CPM Leader Tarigami

Communist Party of India (Marxist) or CPM leader Mohammed Yousaf Tarigami on Wednesday said political leaders of Kashmir were not terrorists and the clampdown in the state would only benefit those who want to further divide the state and put security at risk.

Addressing a press conference in Delhi, Tarigami said the decision of the Centre had put the unity of Jammu & Kashmir with India at risk.

CPM general secretary Sitaram Yechury said Tarigami would file a petition in the Supreme Court next week to challenge the abrogation of the provisions of Article 370 and bifurcation of the state into two union territories.

Tarigami, who was brought to Delhi for a medical checkup, is the first leader from Jammu & Kashmir to come to Delhi.
