JAMMU, May 14: Senior Advocate and former president, J&K High Court Bar Association (JKHCBA), Mohinder Bhardwaj, today asked the Prime Minister of India to act fast against two State BJP leaders for acquiring a land and building a house in the vicinity of sensitive Defence establishments in Nagrota area despite strong protest by senior Army functionaries.
While addressing a meeting at village Chak Hasal in Bishnah area of Jammu, Bhardwaj said that the issue has blown the lid off of the BJP’s much touted nationalistic fervour. “The move is not only in violation of the laid rules but also further jeopardizes the security in this sensitive border State”, he added.
Bhardwaj, a Congress leader, issued an ultimatum to Centre as well as J&K Government to take firm action against the two leaders holding constitutional offices within a week given the sensitiveness of the issue or else all other options will be pursued to protect the interests of the people of border region of Jammu and that of the country as a whole as the issue relates to security.
“No stone will be left unturned if the two BJP leaders who are indulging in the aforesaid illegal acts are removed from the offices they are holding. Options ranging from a direct action with people hitting the roads to legal avenues will be forcefully pursued for cancellation of this land deal and action against two leaders in question as well as the local administrative authorities who allowed the land acquisition and house building process and subsequently refused to act on repeated complaints filed by the army authorities,” he added.
