JAMMU, May 16: Former minister and NPP chairman Harsh Dev Singh today said that with internal and external tensions escalating with each passing day and the unabated violence showing no signs of recess, the J&K State was heading toward a major catastrophic in the coming days.
Talking to media-persons here today, Singh said that large scale Pak firing, shelling and the resultant evacuations, migrations from the LoC and IB coupled with internal disturbances in Kashmir had created an alarm in the entire State with Central and State Govts failing to launch any major initiative to diffuse the tensions. Condemning the Central and State Govts for lackadaisical approach towards the prevalent crisis in the State, Singh cautioned that any further complacence in the matter could prove disastrous for the security of the State as a whole.
Accusing the Central Govt of diplomatic inertia, Singh said that the incumbent Central leadership had failed to convince the international community about the terrorist credentials of Pakistan. He said that PM Modi had assured the nation many times of isolating Pak at international level besides getting it declared as a terrorist state with imposition of sanctions against the rogue nation. He lamented that the aggressor Pak not only remained diplomatically offensive but continued to enjoy the benefits of IWT as well as the Most Favoured Nation (MFN) status at the cost of Indian interest.
He claimed that the BJP led Govt at the Centre had proved to be a bigger failure as compared to its predecessors with more than 1300 ceasefire violations on the borders during the last three years and with Kashmir having been plunged into an abyss of death and destruction.
Cautioning the saffron party of impending denouement, Singh called upon it to real the writing on the wall and end its coalition with PDP in the State or else be prepared to accept the responsibility for increased bloodshed, ruin and disaster and other serious earth shaking consequences which appeared imminent in the near future.
