KATHUA, May 21: Senior Congress leader and former Minister Dr Manohar Lal Sharma has expressed deep concern over the recent happenings in Kashmir, repeated anti- nation slogans by the anti- national elements including separatists in number of public gatherings.
In a press statement Mr Sharma said that his type of activity encourages anti- national elements and causes discouragement in pro- nation people of the country. The release of Masrat Alam immediately after the formation of Government and the statement of the Chief Minister in presence of BJP leader Dr Nirmal Singh only give encouragement to the anti-national elements.
He said that issuance of visa to hardcore separatists leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani is a matter of great concern and the divided stand of State Coalition Government of BJP and PDP further confused the peoples. Such type of happenings further deteriorate the situation even after taking many confidence building steps.
The Congress leader alleged that border people are suffering badly due to unprovoked firing by Pakistan rangers but the negligent approach of both State and Central Government further deepened the crisis. Dr Sharma asked Central Government to come clear on the stand to issue Visa to Geelani, cease fire violations and its soft approach to curb militancy.
