“finally put land in JK up for sale”: Mehbooba Reacts to New Land Laws
New Delhi has “finally put land in JK up for sale”, said the former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir, Mehbooba Mufti, on the recent land laws that allow non-domiciles of JK to acquire land in the region.
Ms. Mufti called the new laws a part of “Government of India’s nefarious designs to disempower & disenfranchise people of JK”. She wrote on Twitter: “From the unconstitutional scrapping of Article 370 to facilitating loot of our natural resources & finally putting land in J&K up for sale.”
Yet another step thats part of GOI’s nefarious designs to disempower & disenfranchise people of J&K. From the unconstitutional scrapping of Article 370 to facilitating loot of our natural resources & finally putting land in J&K up for sale.

She further added: “After failing on all fronts to provide roti & rozgar to people, BJP is creating such laws to whet the appetite of a gullible electorate. Such brazen measures reinforce the need of people of all three provinces of J&K to fight unitedly.”
Omar Abdullah also reacts to the new land laws and written on Twitter “unacceptable amendments to the land ownership……… “
Unacceptable amendments to the land ownership laws of J&K. Even the tokenism of domicile has been done away with when purchasing non-agricultural land & transfer of agricultural land has been made easier. J&K is now up for sale & the poorer small land holding owners will suffer.
