JAMMU, May 14: Holding the BJP regime responsible for the present crisis in J&K, former Minister and senior AAP leader Harsh Dev Singh said that its imprudence and flawed policies had resulted in unabated bloodshed and mayhem claiming precious lives of innocents as well as security personnel.
He said that militancy had almost died down in J&K during the popular Governments but the reckless experimentation of the present rulers resulted in gradual deterioration of the security scenario creating early 90’s situation in the erstwhile State.
Accusing the BJP Govt of deflecting the blame on Pakistan every day and for every act of violence, Singh questioned the focus of the BJP for continuing in power. “You can’t abdicate your responsibility by merely cursing Pakistan. It is your primary duty and constitutional obligation to protect the lives of the citizens on which count you have miserably failed”, Singh asserted.
Charging the BJP Govt with treating J&K as a workshop and conducting weird experimentation over it during the last few years, Harsh Dev said that such a flawed approach of the Centre had led to massive complications with an all-round disenchantment prevailing in the Union Territory as a consequence thereof. What was the rationale in breaking the oldest State and converting it into Union Territories?, questioned Singh.
“The BJP wants to keep the pot boiling in J&K so that it could exploit the present situation as political firecracker in other States for its vote bank politics,” alleged Singh, adding that the normalcy shall never be achieved as long as Centre continued to rule J&K by proxy.
