Statement

New Delhi, 11 August 2019

(Released in Srinagar on 13 August 2019)

WE unequivocally condemn the decision of the Modi Government to abrogate Articles 370 and 35A, dissolve the state of Jammu and Kashmir, and bifurcate it into two Union Territories. We especially condemn the fact that this was done while holding the people and political leadership of Jammu & Kashmir captive and silenced.

New Delhi, 5 August 2019

THE Presidential Order abrogating Article 370 and bifurcating the state of Jammu and Kashmir into two Union Territories of Ladakh and Jammu And Kashmir is nothing short of a coup against the Indian Constitution. The Modi Government, in its usual secretive, conspiratorial, and illegal manner, is burning the constitutional and historical bridge that connected Kashmir to the rest of India.

AIPWA welcomes the Delhi Government move to offer free bus and metro transport to women.
Affordable public transport is key to safeguarding women's right to mobility and autonomy in public spaces of our cities. Free transport is especially valuable to working class women in these hard times when every penny counts, and the high metro fares deter women from accessing it.

Mortal attacks on Muslim youths have been perpetrated immediately after the election victory in Begusarai of Giriraj Singh, BJP’s aggressive communal face. It should be remembered that during the election campaign Giriraj Singh had said that those who are anti-BJP should go to Pakistan.

The PM announced that an Indian anti-satellite missile, A-Sat, had successfully targeted a live satellite on a low earth orbit (LEO), and that India is the fourth country to demonstrate such space missile capability. As many as seven years ago, the DRDO had announced this capability.

• The Left has been kept out of the Mahagathbandhan, no lesson has been learnt from the betrayal of the 2015 people’s mandate and the failure of the alliance
