JAMMU, Aug 18: Expressing serious concern over the growing incidents of militancy in J&K, NPP chairman Harsh Dev Singh today accused the Central Government for its failure to curb Pak sponsored terror in the erstwhile State despite having taken control of law and order in the new UT.
He said martyrdom of four security men on Monday in North Kashmir should serve an eye-opener for a narcissistically self flagellated regime indulging in incessant chest thumping with vague, nauseating claims of having controlled militancy in J&K post Article 370 abrogation. Paying rich tributes to the Army and security personnel who laid down their lives while fighting armed insurgents in the valley, Singh said that the nation shall always remain grateful to the brave hearts who had made supreme sacrifices for their country and its flag.
Addressing the new entrants who joined Panthers Party today at Jammu, the NPP leader hoped that they would strengthened the party in their respective areas.
Singh castigated the BJP led Govt at the Centre for its failure to check ever increasing infiltration from across the border despite its loud sloganeering and incessant chest thumping. “The BJP rule has witnessed an alarming increase in the number of killings of our soldiers in militant attacks for which it was answerable to the nation. With unprecedented loss of precious lives of our brave soldiers during the last 4-5 years, the BJP has proved an utter failure in checking Pak sponsored terror. There have been several dastardly fatal attacks on our soldiers with Uri and Pulwama episodes having shaken the conscience of the nations across the globe which regretfully continue to occur post state’s re-organization and article 370 abolishment as well. And rather than ceiling the extremely porous borders and honouring its commitments of peace and stability in the region, the BJP had been exploiting the sacrifices of the brave hearts for promoting its political interests”, Singh lamented.
Accusing BJP regime for its exaggerated dissonance on dismantling terror infrastructure and restoration of peace in J&K, Singh said that it had failed to save the lives of its people not only on the borders but within the territory of the country. Narendra Modi during opposition had made a statement that the problem was not on the borders but in Delhi and as soon as his Govt came to power, Pak would lose the courage to even look into our eyes, Singh recalled.
