JAMMU, Mar 22: Having failed to get any of the demands of the people of Jammu region conceded in the recent Cabinet meeting held on Tuesday last, NPP chairman and former minister Harsh Dev Singh accused the Jammu based ministers of making vague, nauseating statements through the media so as to hoodwink their electorates.
He said that the media statements of some of the ministers that they raked up the issues of Jammu region in the Cabinet meet but were not heard, were as amusing as ridiculous, said Harsh Dev. He said that the people of Jammu expected some positive development in the Cabinet meeting so as to resolve the crisis pertaining to Nowshera-Sunderbani-Kalakote district status besides Hiranagar fiasco and other Jammu based issues. The meeting had demoralized the people of Jammu with all the muscle flexing and bold assertions of BJP Ministers proving a hoax.
Reminding the BJP leaders of their incessant chest thumping over the issue of ensuring CBI probe into Kathua rape and murder case besides settling the new district row and providing ADCs for various agitating tehsils, Singh said that they must own the responsibility for having failed their people. Likewise, lots of expectations were aroused with regard to rescission of minutes of meeting pertaining to illegal settlements of nomads in different parts of State, Harsh Dev said.
He further said that the issue of Rohingyas having created a security alarm in Jammu in view of their criminal acts and drugs and human trafficking undertaken by them on a large scale, it was expected that some decision would be taken with regard to their deportation. He said that having failed to confront and convince the PDP leadership over the said issues, the BJP Ministers came out with lame excuses in the media that they agitated such pressing issues of Jammu but were over ruled.
Charging the BJP Ministers for acting as mere ornamental pieces in Mehbooba led Govt, Singh said that if they had no say in the affairs of the Govt, they had no right to represent the people of Jammu. Not only had the BJP Ministers surrendered over the aforesaid issues but the only issue of Jammu region incorporated in Agenda of Alliance (AoA) pertaining to delimitation of Assembly constituencies was relegated into the oblivion with not even a word uttered in the Cabinet meet for the same or during the last more than three years.
