JAMMU, Aug 13: Describing the all party meeting convened by the Prime Minister as mere window dressing, Harsh Dev Singh chairman JKNPP and former Minister questioned the neglect of recognized political parties of the State while holding the said meet.
He expressed dismay that while the political parties having their base confined to south, east and west had been called for the said meeting, the regional political parties of the J&K State were ignored. He said that the participants in the meeting included representatives of several political parties which neither had any existence in J&K not had their leadership ever bothered to visit the trouble torn State to take stock of the current turmoil.
He regretted that while the non State participants and half baked experts of other States dominated the proceedings, the local leadership of the State and its regional parties having first hand knowledge of the ground situation were ignored and kept out of the said meeting for political reasons. He said that non invitation to the state level opposition parties of J&K had defeated the very purpose of the meeting and rendered the whole exercise meaningless.
