Udhampur, Jan 13: Former Minister and Chairman AAP’s J&K chapter, harsh Dev Singh on Friday flayed the present dispensation for its failure to curb militancy and cross border terror being exported to JK from across the border by the hostile neighbour, Mr. Harsh Dev Singh, Former Minister and Chairman AAP J&K SCC
He was speaking to Party workers during a Lohri Milan function organized at Udhampur today.
The AAP leader said mere condemnation of Pakistan could no longer satisfy the people of erstwhile state. “It was shocking that a hitherto peaceful Jammu region had also become vulnerable during BJPs proxy rule in the UT”.
Singh said the heart wrenching massacre of innocent civilians including children in Rajouri had shocked the conscience of society across the nation. “Likewise the terror attacks in Sidhra, Udhampur, Katra, Samba and elsewhere in Jammu province had punctured the tall claims of helmsmen of having restored normalcy in the UT”.
Holding the BJP regime responsible for the present crisis in J&K, Harsh Dev Singh said that its imprudence and flawed policies had resulted in unabated bloodshed and mayhem claiming precious lives of innocents as well as security personnel.
He said that militancy had almost died down in J&K during the popular governments but the reckless experimentation of the present rulers resulted in gradual deterioration of the security scenario creating early 90’s situation in the erstwhile state.
Accusing the BJP government of deflecting the blame on Pakistan every day and for every act of violence, Singh questioned the locus of the BJP for continuing in power. “You can’t abdicate your responsibility by merely cursing Pakistan. It is your primary duty and constitutional obligation to protect the lives of the citizens on which count you have miserably failed”, asserted Mr. Singh.
Charging the BJP government with treating J&K as a workshop and conducting weird experimentation over it during the last few years, Singh said that such a flawed approach of the centre had led to massive complications with an all-round disenchantment prevailing in the new UT as a consequence thereof. “What was the rationale in breaking the oldest state and converting it into UTs?,” questioned Singh.
The AAP chief said the entire focus of the BJP government is on its political expansion deliriously oblivious of the growing tensions and escalation in militancy in the UT.
“It seems that the BJP wants to keep the pot boiling in J&K so that it could exploit the present situation as political firecracker in other states for its vote bank politics,” asserted Harsh adding further the normalcy shall never be achieved as long as centre continued to rule J&K by proxy.
