STATE TIMES NEWS
RAMNAGAR: Holding the BJP-PDP Coalition responsible for the chaotic state of affairs prevalent in the State, Harsh Dev Singh, JKNPP Chairman and former Minister, on Friday observed that the unethical and unholy alliance between the two diametrically opposed political parties for power sake, had spelled doom, death and destruction in the State.
Describing the existing scenario in the State as catastrophic fall out of the north pole-south pole union, Singh regretted that the people across the State were paying the price for the opportunist alliance of proclaimed opponents. He was addressing a huge public meeting in villages Marta and Kaghote of Ramnagar constituency.
Expressing concern over the prevalent mess in the State, Singh deplored the chaotic conditions that had engulfed all the three regions of the State.
He lamented that while Kashmir witnessed the worst ever phase of arson, violence and infiltration during BJP-PDP rule, Jammu’s borders suffered unprecedented disturbances and agony with Ladakh region facing the heat of Sino-Indian face off. He regretted that not only were the IB and LOC on fire but tensions had severely escalated on LAC with China adopting a highly aggressive and offensive posturing thus threatening peace and security all across the State.
He said that while the border residents faced the nightmarish experiences of their lifetimes, the ministers were indulging in photo-ops and media statements without taking any action to provide the much needed succour and solace to victims of the Pak shelling.
He regretted that some of the BJP leaders were even trying to stoke war frenzy by their war mongering utterances, as a measure of pure politics, deliriously oblivious of the agony and pain of the border inhabitants.
He lambasted the BJP for disregarding its promises of providing five marla plots in safer zones to border dwellers besides construction of shelters and bunkers.
Had the saffron flavoured State Government acted on time, the loss of precious lives of so many civilians could have been averted, he pointed out.
Lambasting further BJP for political exploitation of the surgical strikes, Singh said that its loud mouthed dunderheads had not only belittled the sanctity of Army’s noble mission but had immensely endangered the lives and security of the border people. Expressing grave concern over in the total breakdown of law and order in Kashmir with torching of educational institutions going un-abated and situation showing no signs of retrieval, the former Education Minister described the present scenario as conducive for invocation of Sec 92 of the state constitution. He regretted that despite all-round condemnation and concern shown by various political and social organizations across the country besides the central govt. and High Court regarding the burning of schools, the govt. had utterly failed to check the violent abominable phenomenon. He said that with around 30 schools having been reduced to ashes and petrol bombs hurled upon colleges and other government buildings including police stations and army camps and the Bandhs and protests continuing for the last nearly four months, the govt. surely was not functioning in accordance with the mandate of the constitution and hence qualified for imposition of Governor’s Rule.
