17-03-2023 : On Friday, the Aam Aadmi Party declared that they have started a hunger strike demanding an official order from the Jammu and Kashmir administration to exempt underprivileged inhabitants and shopkeepers from the current anti-encroachment campaign.
According to Mudasir Hassan, the AAP youth leader, the hunger strike was initiated by their vice-president, Nazir Ahmad Ittoo, last night, but they were not permitted to sit at the Press Colony for security reasons and had to relocate to their office.
Hassan affirmed that the hunger strike will continue until the administration releases a formal order. Despite the administration making daily statements that the demolition drive will not harm the underprivileged, Hassan stated that they are requesting an official notice to that effect.
Furthermore, he clarified that the party is not opposing an anti-encroachment campaign against wealthy and influential land grabbers.
