Srinagar, Apr 8: The Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (R) chairman, Farooq Siddiqi, has warned the state government against allocation of any land to LNJ Bhilwara or their partners Glitnir, Panks Geothermal and Tata in Puga Valley for “draining of our clean energy resourcesâ€Â.
 “As Kashmir is an internationally recognized disputed territory, any dividend taken by encroaching on its perishable resources without its final settlement is tantamount to economic piracy,†said Farooq Siddiqi in a statement today said, “While we respect the riparian and perennial rights of our national neighbors we reserve the right to safeguard our potential static energy and mineral reserves against prowling. The draining of our national energy resources from our water potential and mineral resources from Kishtiwar and Padder in the last 60 years to provide the gains to Indian economy has caused Kashmiri people dearly and has undermined Kashmir’s economic base.â€Â
