REASI, June 14: JKPCC working president Raman Bhalla today hit out at the BJP Government alleging that it had failed to restore peace in Jammu and Kashmir.
“The claims of the BJP on the improvement of the situation are hollow. The BJP makes claims that they have ended terrorism after removal of Article 370 but you know how many incidents have taken place in J&K since then. The truth is that they have failed in providing security to the people and restoration of peace,” Bhalla said during his visit in various areas of Reasi district including Kandyar, Panasa, Katra accompanied by Rajesh Sadhotra PCC general secretary and Bupinder Jamwal, president district Reasi. On this occasion, Bhalla also visited families of terror attack victims and expressed solidarity with bereaved family.
Speaking on the occasion, Bhalla said that Congress leadership condemns in the strongest possible words the terror attacks in Jammu region killings innocents, terming it as total failure of BJP Govt to handle the situation and demanded urgent and effective measures to stop innocent killings and ensure the safety of common man in J&K. He said Congress shall reach out to coordinate its efforts with other like-minded forces, groups, NGOs etc to fight against the “politics of hate, division and diversion” of the BJP in-order to maintain atmosphere of peace and harmony in the society.
He said that Congress shall work to protect the legal rights of the landless, small and marginal farmers in bonafide use and occupation of the lands for decades and seeks framing of a fair policy based on justice and equity in this regard. The Party shall work for due Constitutional and legal rights to the SCs, STs, OBCs, Paharis and other weaker sections.
Bhalla said the BJP’s chest-thumping and “hollow” claims of return of peace and normalcy in Jammu and Kashmir have been thoroughly exposed by the three terror attacks in the region in the past three days. He said the country is demanding answers as to why those plotting against the country are not being caught under the BJP rule. The fact that BJP did not even bother to fight elections in Kashmir valley is a testament to the fact that their ‘Naya Kashmir’ policy is an abject failure,” he said.
