Poonch Oct 26: Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) Chief Vikar Rasool Wani on Thursday expressed grave concern over the militancy revival in J&K, especially in border districts Rajouri & Poonch in Jammu Division, terming it an “utter failure” of the BJP government on the security front.
Wani was addressing a district-level party workers’ meeting at Poonch. He was accompanied by JKPCC Working President Raman Bhalla, Vice President Jehangir Mir, Former Minister and DCC President Rajouri Shabir Ahmad Khan, Gen Secretary Iftikhar Ahmad, Mahila President Shameema Raina and various other party functionaries. The meeting was organized by DCC President Poonch Rajinder Singh Kaka.
Speaking on the occasion JKPCC Chief said militancy revival in Rajouri, Poonch and other border districts is a matter of grave concern while slamming the BJP government at the Centre for failing to address issues concerning people, especially joblessness, lack of development and various other issues.
Wani termed the policies of BJP as “divisive, based on hate and division” and expressed confidence that the Congress Party shall defeat the designs of BJP-RSS which he said are hell-bent upon to divide people on religious and regional lines.
“BJP government instead of focusing on development and protection of people, especially in border areas, is out to mislead people on various counts. Our brave soldiers were martyred in the line of duty, but the Centre’s failure on the security front has led to the militancy revival, which is a matter of grave concern and should work as an eye-opener for the BJP leaders, who are only making tall claims and praise Modi government for nothing,” he said.
Congress Party is duty bound to ensure the protection of people and redressal of the problems, Wani said, adding that the party shall make every possible effort for a dignified life for people.
“J&K is the worst hit on every count due to the failures, mishandling and mismanagement of things on the part of BJP, besides the undemocratic reorganisation of full-fledged people has pushed the people towards darkness, joblessness, economic distress and disconnect in the absence of the elected government,” he said.
Speaking on the occasion, Raman Bhalla hit out at the BJP for “misleading people by playing religions and other emotional cards for the lust of power”. “Now the people not only in J&K but across the country have rejected the divisive and religious politics of the BJP,” he said.
The Congress leader said the BJP is afraid of facing assembly and other elections, which are being “deliberately” delayed.
