JAMMU, Feb 14: The BJP Government at the Centre is the most distrustful dispensation which the people of J&K have ever seen.
This was stated by Taranjit Singh Tony, Chairman Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Jammu and Kashmir for Administrative Engagement and Minority Affairs, and District Development Council (DDC) Member Suchetgarh after interacting with shopkeepers of Nai Basti area. Tony was leading a delegation of AAP to meet shopkeepers of Nai Basti area who were served notices by the LG led administration to vacate their shops within seven days.
Talking to reporters, Tony lambasted the proxy government of BJP in J&K for creating fear psychosis among the general public under the garb of ongoing demolition drive. He said that the so-called anti-encroachment drive has led to chaotic situation all across the region with people getting frightened over the uncertainty about their future.
“It is an irony of J&K and its people that the BJP led Central Government which is running the affairs of this Union Territory through proxy continues to unleash anti-people policies and keeps on arbitrarily issuing orders one after the other thus multiplying the woes of the common people,” he added. He said that BJP people are hell bent upon ‘Hitlar Shahi Farmans’ of demolition drive without having proper rehabilitation plan for small shopkeepers.
The AAP leader asked LG Sinha led administration to immediately issue the directions to withdraw the controversial land order at the earliest so that the people can sleep at night without any fear of demolition.
Namrta Sharma (Provincial President, Women Wing, AAP), said the method being used to evict the marginal farmers, small shopkeepers and those living in small houses constructed years back, sends a message that the administration is insensitive to the sentiments of the general public. She asked Government not to harass poor people and LG must come to rescue to people having small chunk of land upto 15 marlas.
Other AAP leaders present were Partap Singh Jamwal (Provincial, Sangathan Mantri, AAP), Mohinder Pal Singh (Incharge Communication, AAP), Mahesh Bakshi (Provincial President CYSS), Parminder Singh (Parbhari, Youth Wing) and Heernak Singh (Provincial Secretary, Youth Wing).
