JKNPP protests glorification of separatists in J&K, torches effigy of ruling alliance
15/10/2017
JAMMU, Oct 14: Accusing the BJP-PDP coalition of promoting the secessionists and pursuing separatist agenda in the state, a large number of JKNPP activists led by Mr. Harsh Dev Singh JKNPP Chairman and Former Minister and Yash Paul Kundal State President Young Panthers today organized a massive protest demonstration at Exhibition ground Jammu and torched the effigy of the ruling alliance. The protestors raising slogans sought the dismissal of the ruling coalition in the interest of security of the state.
Addressing the party activists and media persons, Mr. Harsh Dev Singh said that portrayal of Asiya Andrabi as a women achiever in the state govt festival could not have been possible without the approval of the helmsmen in the govt. He said it was a pre-planned and calculated move to promote Asiya Andrabi through official function with the avowed objective of appeasement of separatists and to gain their support. He said that having achieved the desired purpose, the PDP obliged BJP as a measure of face saving for the latter, suspending a lower rung officer of the level of CDPO.
Lambasting the BJP-PDP govt for its manipulative machiavellian politics, Mr. Sigh said that such like tantrums only evoked cynicism amongst the masses besides eroding its already dented credibility. He said that it was not the first time that separatists were being so eulogized.
Recalling the gory incidents of stone pelting in the recent past in Kashmir, he said that the ring leader of stone pelters named Farooq Dar, who was tied by the Army men to the bonnet of a Jeep for his seditious acts, was also awarded and a compensation of Rs.10 lacs announced for him. He further made a mention of the govt policy announcing Rs. four lac each for the families of deceased stone pelters including govt Jobs for their NOKs.
He deplored non initiation of any action against the senior officer of District Kishtwar who during his recent visit to a school had disrespected national anthem. And contrarily it were the students who were baton charged for objecting to the highly contemptuous and sacrilegious conduct of the said officer, he added.
Not only were the separatists enjoying patronage of the govt with their glorification at govt expense but all Huriyat and other secessionist leaders were being provided huge security and various other govt facilities at tax payers' cost, rued Harsh. He said that even earlier during the formation of the BJP-PDP govt in March 2015, the then Chief Minister had categorically expressed his gratitude, on behalf of coalition govt, to militants and Pakistan, for having facilitated smooth conduct of elections and for formation of new govt in the state. Prominent among those who spoke on the occasion included P.K Ganju, Rajesh Padgotra, Shyam Gorkha, Shanker Singh Chib, Nirmal Kishore, K.K Sharma, Raj Kumar Jandial, Rashpaul Singh, Udhayveer Sambyal, Mohinder Singh (Bobby), Arun Khajuria, Vishav Singh, Jeevan Sharma, Pardeep besides others.
