SRINAGAR, Aug 8: Jammu and Kashmir National Conference (NC) today rejected the allegations of Chief Secretary, BVR Subrahmanyam as baseless, politically motivated and intended to evade the genuine concerns of the public on the failures of J&K administration on every conceivable matrix.
In a statement, party’s spokesperson, Imran Nabi Dar said that it can’t be a coincidence that BJP and its leadership has been parroting the same line of thought over the past one year. “The language used by CS while hurling allegations against mainstream political parties is exactly similar to what BJP is saying. If he is so keen to be a politician, I would suggest that he quit his job and join politics. With the kind of comments he has made on the J&K’s situation post Aug 05, the veiled political affiliations of J&K’s top bureaucrats have finally come forth before people.”
He said that such sordid allegations from a civil servant put a big question mark on his professionalism, work culture and impartiality. “It is quite alarming where a serving civil servant is overtly spewing venom against the entire mainstream political spectrum to hide the abject failures of the administration under him since 20 June 2018.”
He said it was quite laughable to see him put the burden of his failures on people’s representatives. “The allegations should not be seen in isolation, it is aimed towards uprooting the left over roots of already withered democracy in J&K. It won’t be an exaggeration to say that such statements emanating from the top administrative positions seek to give credence to its unresponsive, undemocratic, unrepresentative rule in J&K,” he said.
“The statement of JK CS also reveals his own hyper-partisan disposition and the proclivity of the GOI to maintain the status quo of confusion, chaos, misgovernance and fear in J&K,” Dar said terming the assertions of CS as an attempt to give acceptance to undemocratic setup at the expense of democracy and those who have been watering it in the most trying times in J&K.
