JKPM Vice President and Founding Member Syed Iqbal Tahir Resigns From The Party; Likely To Join One of The PAGD Parties

Anantnag, Nov 13: J&K Peoples Movement (JKPM) Vice President and founding member Syed Iqbal Tahir has resigned from the post of Vice President as well as from the basic membership of the party.

In his resignation letter addressed to the party state executive committee, Iqbal Tahir has said that the illegal abrogation of Articles 370 and 35A of the Constitution of India was a momentous milestone in the chequered political history of Jammu & Kashmir and the abrogation has wiped off any trace of the ‘special status’ that people of J&K had enjoyed under the constitution.

While acknowledging that JKPM was prompt in challenging the abrogation before the Supreme Court of India, in his resignation letter Iqbal Tahir has however stressed that the struggle for restoration of Articles 370 & 35A has also to be carried out at political and other levels.

“It is very painful to leave an organization of which I was a founding member but I am convinced that in order to achieve the ‘larger goal’, younger political workers like us have a moral obligation to bolster such political forces in the state who are much better placed and equipped to achieve justice and dignity for the people of J&K which was taken away from them in August 2019. It is time to “join hands with them rather than work in silos” and raise a collective voice against the suppression unleashed over the people of J&K after abrogation” Iqbal Tahir has mentioned in his resignation letter.

Widely considered as the public face of the party and an emerging grass-roots leader, Syed Iqbal Tahir is an advocate at the Supreme Court of India. He is an alumnus of Bristol Law School, UK and attended a leadership programme at Harvard University, USA.

As per sources, he is likely to join one of the PAGD parties in the coming days.

JKPM Committed to Resolving Drinking Water Problem of villages Rambirpora, Kehribal, Karewa Rampora, Krungsoo, Wantrag, Roonipora, Brah of District Anantnag:

Anantnag, February 18: J&K Peoples Movement (JKPM) is committed to resolving the drinking water crisis faced by inhabitants of villages Rambirpora, Kehribal, Karewa Rampora, Krungsoo, Wantrag, Roonipora, Brah of District Anantnag.

While speaking to our correspondent, JKPM Vice President Solicitor Syed Iqbal Tahir who is a noted Supreme court lawyer said that in the year 2020 he has filed has filed a public interest litigation titled Syed Iqbal Tahir vs Union Territory of J&K & Others (WP (C) PIL No. 15/2020) before the High Court of J&K regarding the drinking water problem of Karewa region of Anantnag.

In his petition, Syed Iqbal Tahir has submitted that the inhabitants of villages Rambirpora, Kehribal, Karewa Rampora, Krungsoo, Wantrag, Roonipora, Brah of District Anantnag have suffered badly for decades due to an acute shortage of clean and safe drinking water. The people of these villages are currently getting drinking water supply from ‘Shah-Koul’ (an irrigation canal) which is completely unsafe and cannot be used for drinking purposes. Due to non-availability of potable drinking water to the inhabitants the only option left with them is to utilize the water flowing in the irrigation canal and as a result thereof the inhabitants usually suffer from water-borne diseases.

Iqbal Tahir has alleged that in May 2016, 1MGD Rambirpora-Kehribal Water Supply Scheme was sanctioned by the Government of Jammu and Kashmir. The scheme was taken up under National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development and was to be completed within 2 years. The petitioner has alleged that the PHE Department, however, has not only failed to complete the scheme but has now officially called it off for unknown reasons. Even after almost 4 years later, the scheme remains incomplete forcing the locals to use the contaminated and unfiltered water of the local stream for drinking purposes. “Officials of the Public Health Engineering Department worked on the scheme for few months and later abandoned the same. Also, pipes meant for the scheme were lying on roadside in Rambirpora-Kehribal and a filtration plant constructed in the area is also lying dysfunctional”, the petition says.

The petitioner has prayed that the High Court shall direct the government to provide clean drinking water to the inhabitants of Villages Ranbirpora, Kehribal, KarewaRampora, Wantrag, Roonipora and Brah of District Anantnag.Taking cognizance of the matter, the J&K High Court has issued a notice to the government and asked for action taken report.

The petition is listed for hearing on 26 February 2022.
