 Hello and welcome to NewsClick. I am Sumedha and on the daily roundup we are bringing you a glimpse of some of the most important stories that we report about here at NewsClick. The Supreme Court is all set to hear the challenge to Article 35A as tension prevails in the valley. Clearing its stance on Article 35A, the JNK Governor has asserted that it has sought the adjourning of the hearing. A statement from the Governor's office said in a quote, our stance is clear on it. We have requested the Supreme Court to defer the hearing. The Governor had to release this note amid protests and panic that has gripped the valley, which is sparked by the rumours of an ordinance which is set to repeal the Article 35A. Governor Satya Pal Malik has also emphasised that the increased deployment of security forces should be seen in the context of preparations for the coming elections. So what is Article 35A and what does it matter to Jammu and Kashmir? Article 35A is the provision which is incorporated in the Indian constitution in 1954. The provision provides the Jammu and Kashmir legislative powers to decide the permanent residents of Jammu and Kashmir and to ensure their special rights and privileges in the public sector jobs. Acquisition of property in the state, scholarships, other public and welfare. The act was incorporated into the constitution by the then President Rajendra Prasad on the advice of Jawaharlal Nehru's cabinet. In the view of recent developments, the state has imposed restrictions in certain parts of Srinagar to prevent separatists called protests against the mass deterioration of the 150 Jamaat-e-Islami militants. So who is Jamaat-e-Islami and why is there a crackdown on it? Jamaat-e-Islami in Jammu and Kashmir is a social religious political party which was founded before the partition in 1942. It was a part of the Jamaat-e-Hind and is more inclined towards Pakistan. At the onset of militancy, the valley's largest outfit, Hejbul-Majahideen called itself the armed wing of the Jamaat. Meanwhile, heavy contingents of the state police and the CRPF have been deployed across the city to maintain law and order. Many separatist leaders including Abdul Hamid Fayaz and Mohammad Yaseen Malik were also taken into preventive custody ahead of the Article 35A hearing. In New Delhi today, thousands of Anganwadi workers came together to protest against the policies of the Modi government. The workers came from the parks of Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh. The workers have been consistently reiterating their demands to be recognized as full-time workers being given the statutory minimum wage of 18,000 per month. Currently, there is no fixed wage that the workers enjoy. They are dependent on the states to pay them according to their whims and fancies. They have been demanding that the minimum wage to be increased to Rs. 1500 for workers and Rs. 750 for the helpers. They are also demanding benefits of pensions, retirements, leaves, etc. Take a look at our ground report. They have been cheated by the Modi government. And particularly, even the announcement that was made in September after the massive Mazdoor Kisan rally and also in the budget. In the budget itself, the impression was given that another time they are announcing which itself is a deceit. But even that amount has not been paid in many states. The main demand is that despite all these years, the Anganwadi ICDS is still not being established. And immediately, they are asking that the protest in Haryana is going to be held in Bade Pema Ne Prabhakar, Kerala in Haryana. And the main demand is that the government that had made an agreement with us should not apply it to the state government of Haryana, which is the BJP. The second demand is that the Prime Minister had announced on 11th September that the workers will get the helpers of Rs. 700 for Rs. 1500. So, they are not getting it down. Many systems have not received the money from the central government. They are not getting any money from the central government from September. So, they are about 6 months away. They are not getting the share of the central government. Apart from this, the government had said that they will get the X Gracia. They will be promoted on the basis of their seniority. There are such matters. So, on 8th February last year, on 20th February, there was a total struggle. But the government of the BJP is against the workers. They are not going to solve their problems. In international news, there is an emergency which has been declared in Sudan following anti-government demonstrations. A state of emergency was declared in Sudan by the President Omar al-Bashir on 22nd February after the desolation of the cabinet and local governments for at least one year. Following the announcement, al-Bashir issued two decrees which set up the caretaker administration. He appointed 16 army officers and two security officers as new governors for the eight provinces of the country. In response to this, a large number of people gathered outside the al-Said and Abdul Rahman Mosque in Qasala to demonstrate against the al-Bashir government. After coming to power in 1989 through a military coup, al-Bashir has been accused of curbing people and movements using the brutal force against dissent. His regime has also been engaged in a civil war with rebel groups in the Darfur region since 2003. That's all that we have for you today on this episode of the Daily Roundup.
