JAMMU, Jan 31: While the borders continued to bleed with a war like situation due to persistent firing and mortar shelling by Pak rangers, the Union Govt seems to be totally unconcerned engaging itself completely in political battle in the national capital for Delhi Assembly polls.
Addressing border migrants during his tour of Vijaypur and Ramgarh areas, NPP leader and former legislator Harshdev Singh regretted that while the border people were suffering untold miseries, the BJP led Govt had remained content with issuance of mere statements that BSF had been authorized to give befitting reply to Pakistan. He said that rather than Union Ministers and concerned authorities visiting the affected families and providing the much needed relief and rehabilitation, the Union Govt had chosen to recall all its ministers to the National capital to participate in Election campaign.
He deplored that though the BJP led Govt had deputed 20 Union Ministers, several Chief Ministers and 150 MPs from several States to campaign in Delhi, it had completely neglected the border residents and left them at the mercy of its crook neighbour.
Expressing grave concern over the continued shelling and Govt’s criminal apathy, he called upon the Union and State Govt to accelerate the relief measures and accord priority consideration to address the issue on war footing in view of piquant situation where thousands of families all along the 192 Km IB had been uprooted.
Strongly condemning Pakistani misadventures, Mr Singh said that the Indian Govt has got to ensure safety of our border population giving at the same time a mouthful to violent posturing Pakistan. He further called upon the Union and State Govt to provide a permanent solution for the rehabilitation of border migrants who are often displaced due to frequent border shelling.
