BJP to urge Kashmir Civil Society to denounce terrorism

Avtar Bhat
JAMMU, July 28: The BJP State Working Committee meeting scheduled to be held at Rajouri on July 30 will among other issues make a fervent appeal to Civil Society of Kashmir to denounce the terrorism and separatism openly as it has eaten up vitals of the society in last three decades now.
The Party will adopt a political resolution in this regard which will be given the final shape in the Party office bearers meeting tomorrow. The office bearers meeting which will precede the Working Committee meeting besides 50 partymen will be attended by Union Minister of State in PMO, Dr Jitendra Singh,  Deputy Chief Minister, Dr Nirmal Singh,  State president Sat Sharma and all four general secretaries party sources told Excelsior.
Dr Jitendra Singh, who will reach here early tomorrow morning, will straightway leave for Rajouri to be present in the office bearers meeting. He will return to Union Capital on Sunday.
Sources said that the appeal to Civil Society of Kashmir has gained importance after the Union Government adopted a pro-active approach to curb terrorism and secessionism in Valley and after the suggestion in this regard was also made in the three day long RSS Samelan at Jammu recently.
Sources said BJP which has already started a pro nationalist movement in Kashmir after holding massive rallies in border belts of Karnah and Gurez recently is of the opinion that this is the high time when civil society of Kashmir should raise its voice against the Pak sponsored terrorism and secessionism to take the State on the path of progress and development.
Sources said through the resolution, BJP will also make it clear that the terrorism and unlawful activities like stone pelting was not any solution to the problems and separatist leaders were hoodwinking the common masses of Kashmir by luring the youth belonging to poor families into terrorist and stone pelting activities while their own children were absorbed on cozy Government posts or were enjoying green pastures outside the Valley.
Sources said BJP will not only make the appeal to the people but will practically work to make this formula a success by mobilizing public opinion in length and breadth of the Valley for which the party has already started the exercise.
Sources said through political resolution, the party will also fully endorse the NIA raids on separatists and further stress on unmasking the nexus between separatist leaders involved in terror funding and unearthing of the conspiracy lodged to threaten national unity and integrity.
Sources said that the Rohingyas issue and introduction of Kashmiri in the degree colleges of Jammu will also form the part of resolution. While Party will stress on deportation of illegal immigrants from Myanmar and Bangladesh putting up at Jammu, it will stress on giving equal treatment to the languages of all the three regions of the State including Dogri, Kashmiri and Bodhi so that no region feels neglected and discriminated, sources added.
Sources said the Working Committee meeting will also discuss the prevailing political scenario in the State and take stock of the developments taking place between last Working Committee meeting held by Party during April ending this year at Doda and progress made on the resolutions presented in that meeting.
Sources said that all the Ministers of BJP besides the senior party leaders and Working Committee members will attend the meeting on July 30 and party has made special arrangements of their boarding and lodging at Rajouri.
The BJP national vice president and incharge J&K Avinash Rai Khanna will be special invitee in the Working Committee meeting and he will inaugurate it.
Sources said that BJP national president Amit Shah has made it mandatory for all State units of the Party to hold the Working Committee meetings after every three months along with National Executive meeting to review the party’s performance on all fronts.
