JAMMU, May 18: Chief patron of National Panthers Party, Prof Bhim Singh has alleged that yet another surrender by the Jammu BJP leadership on Tawi Lake project has shown insulting sell out of the Jammu voters.
In a press statement issued today Bhim Singh alleged that the Kashmiri rulers never behaved so rude and authoritative as Mufti Mohammad Sayeed has been demonstrating by keeping the RSS converted BJP Ministers in J&K on his lap. He said Mufti rejected delimitation of Assembly constituencies and BJP could not utter a single word. Mufti so strongly dumped the issue of legitimate and comprehensive resettlement of nearly 15 lakh Pak & PoK refugees living in most disgraceful conditions in Jammu and adjoining districts.
“Mufti Sayeed said no to AIIMS for Jammu and in the same breadth he had courage to say no to Jammu Tawi Lake in the presence of Dy Chief Minister, an RSS volunteer and a university teacher representing BJP. The BJP could not even whisper against the dictates of the Kashmiri leader. Congress and National Conference have been working against the interest of the people of Jammu since 1947. Of course, Mufti Mohd Sayeed who remained employed by the Congress as its Pradesh president for 18 years before floating his present political outfit has been a natural ally of the Kashmiri rulers,” Prof Singh maintained.
Bhim Singh reminded the RSS-PDP led Government that the Lake project was worked out by Maharaja Hari Singh in the thirties. He could not initiate because of financial reasons and then the fall of Second World War followed by anti-Dogra (Quit Kashmir) against the Dogras. NPP leader reminded the people and the civil society in the State that the Maharaja earned the wrath of Britishers when he introduced ‘State Subject’ in 1927 prohibiting transfer of immoveable property to any outsider (State Subject). He did not transfer Jammu Lake project to a British company for the reason that the British may play foul by violating the Royal Decree (the State Subject) and taking over immoveable land from the poor Kashmiri farmers. It was the greatest gift of Maharaja Hari Singh to the petty farmers of J&K which has been protecting the ‘interest and the identity’ of the people of J&K. That identity is under a serious threat of PDP-BJP rulers, he added.
