Srinagar, Aug 02 (KNS): BJP General Secretary Tarun Chug on Wednesday said that Supreme Court is the guardian of the rights of individuals and weaker sections of the society who were deprived of their rights before abrogation of Article 370.

He was reacting to the statements of former Chief Ministers Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti and CPI(M) leader MY Tarigami that people of Jammu and Kashmir have pinned their hopes of justice to Supreme court.

"They are just doing politics. What they mean by justice. Did they forgot women of J&K were sufferers, while tribals population including Paharis, Valmakis, SCs, STs and West Pakistan refugees were deprived of their rights. They never raised their voice for their justice they are just doing politics."

He said that they are misleading the people of Jammu and Kashmir by their slogan of justice. “They had made hallow promises to the people and Article 370 was the biggest hindrance in the development of Jammu and Kashmir, especially the weaker sections,” he said.

He further said that they have full faith in the judiciary that it will uphold the rights of weaker sections of the society who got empowered with the abrogation of Article 370. (KNS)
