Golden Heartz Foundation, a volunteer organization of legal professionals and researchers, organized a webinar titled ” Understanding Domicile Law in J & K” wherein keynote speaker Sunil Sethi, senior Advocate Jammu and Kashmir High Court, explained in details the need for bringing the domicile law in J&K.
In his address, the senior advocate also highlighted the historic injustice done to the people of West Pakistan, Valmikis, Gurkhas who had migrated more than 70 years ago in J&K but due to political reasons, were denied equal opportunities in erstwhile State of J&K and were treated as sub-humane. “No civilized and law abiding society could even think of such inhumane treatment and denial of basic human rights under the garb of Article 370 and 35-A of Constitution of India that had continued for such a long during previous Governments”, he stated.
Advocate Sethi said the Union Government headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi not only healed the wounds of the victims of these arbitrary laws with the Domicile Law but also rectified constitutional blunders.
The senior advocate also replied various queries and concerns on J&K Domicile Law raised by the participants belonging to different States of India.
The webinar was moderated and hosted by Deepak Sharma, while welcome address was delivered by Dewakar Sharma and vote of thanks was presented by Hunar Gupta, all advocates of J & K High Court, Jammu.
Hundreds of participants across country attended the webinar. The organizers informed that soon the organization would launch a series of such more webinars on different social, legal, academic, governance and political issues concerning J&K.
