He said that proposal of J and K Rajya Sainik Board for creation of two colonies one in Srinagar and another in Budgam was approved in the year 2012 at the highest level with process of land identification also having been initiated.
He further said it was highly disconcerting to note that the proposal was being shelved in the BJP partnered Government in the State and BJP led Government at the Centre not withstanding its solemn pledge during elections to promote the interests of ex-servicemen and the armed forces. He regretted that not only on the issues of Sainik Colonies but also on NIT, NEET, the BJP had made successive surrenders only to keep their second fiddle role in the government intact and their ministerial berths secure.
