JAMMU: Balwant Singh Mankotia, State President JKNPP met Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh in Srinagar today to discuss the prevalent situation in the State. This was disclosed by him in the press conference held in the party headquarters in Jammu today.
Mankotia, while interacting with the media, disclosed that he had submitted to the Union Home Minister that ever since the BJP-PDP had forged an alliance to form the government, ugly subversive incidents had been continuously taking place thus vitiating peace and tranquility in the State.
He said that the two parties were opposite poles and their subsequent coalition had betrayed the aspirations of the people. He further added that it was one of the factors which led to the turbulence in the Valley and several agitations besides protests in Jammu region as well.
Mankotia also brought to the notice of the Home Minister that during the present regime of the Coalition Government, open space and freedom were given to the secessionists and anti-national elements which had emboldened them to rebel against the State and the country.
He said that there were several incidents during the holy month of Ramadaan where ISIS and Pak flags were brazenly waved by the miscreants in Kashmir to flare up tension and the deliberate negligence and gross failure of the State Government to control the situation were responsible for the prevalent crisis in the Valley.
Mankotia divulged that Pakistan had been persistently pushing terrorists in the State and unleashing false propaganda against India via electronic and social media. He submitted to the Home Minister that hostile Pakistan had waged a full scale proxy war against India as it was evident from the observance of ‘Black Day’ on July 20th in Pakistan against the elimination of dreaded Hizb commander Burhan Wani in Kashmir.
Mankotia urged the Union Government to rein-in Pakistan by diplomatic means to prevent the rogue country to spread terror on our soils.
He said that it was a high time for India to take up the issue of declaration of Pakistan as a Terrorist State besides political banishment of the rogue nation from the international community. He further submitted that the NDA government had shown non-chalant approach towards the aspirations of the people of Jammu Pradesh.
He added that the electorate of Jammu region was hoodwinked, cheated and betrayed by the heavily mandated BJP leaders who had succumbed to the dictates of its ally and the secessionist forces for the loaves of power.
He apprised the Home Minister that the seething fury among the Jammu masses would erupt explosively if their demands were not conceded sooner which were promised by the BJP during election campaigns. He further maintained that the incidents of violence and manhandling of Jammu drivers on the highways by the felons in Kashmir would further aggravate the situation and with cross- plying of commercial vehicles between Jammu and Srinagar coming to halt, it would severely hit the economy of the State.
Mankotia said that imposition of Governor rule only could save the State from further death and distruction.
Others who were present in the press conference included Gagan Pratap Singh Spokesman Young Panthers, Anil Rakwal, Th. Veerender Singh State President NPSU, Lovely Jasrotia and Rishi Badyal.
