BJP’s reckless experimentation with J&K led to re-emergence of militancy: Harsh Dev

Excelsior Correspondent

UDHAMPUR, Jan 13: Flaying the present dispensation for its alleged failure to curb militancy and cross border terror being exported to J&K from across the border by the hostile neighbour, Harsh Dev Singh, former Minister and Chairman AAP J&K SCC said that mere condemnation of Pakistan could no longer satisfy the people of erstwhile State.
“It is shocking that a hitherto peaceful Jammu region has also become vulnerable during BJPs proxy rule in the UT. The heart wrenching massacre of innocent civilians including children in Rajouri has shocked the conscience of society across the nation. Likewise the terror attacks in Sidhra, Udhampur, Katra, Samba and elsewhere in Jammu province have punctured the tall claims of helmsmen of having restored normalcy in the UT,” he said while addressing the AAP workers during a Lohri Milan function, organized at Udhampur on Friday.
Holding the BJP regime responsible for the present crisis in J&K, Harsh Dev 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 Govts 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 Govt 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 Singh.
Charging the BJP Govt with treating J&K as a workshop and conducting weird experimentation over it during the last few years, Harsh Dev 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.
Alleging 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, Harsh Dev Singh said that the normalcy would never be achieved as long as Centre continued to rule J&K by proxy.
