RAMBAN, June 18: Former minister and NPP chairman Harsh Dev Singh today said that with the diabolical alliance of BJP-PDP inviting death, destruction, ruin and disaster in Kashmir, the situation in Jammu region too, had been thrown out of gear.
“The echo of Kashmir’s violence has shown its impact on Jammu region as well. The stone pelting on the CRPF convoy in Banihal and raising of pro-Azadi slogans in Kishtwar of late having being sponsored by Pakistan agents has pushed entire State towards a catastrophe”, Harsh Dev Singh said while addressing public meeting at Batote and Assar today.
He said with the crowd going berserk in Kashmir, shockingly the maniacal tendency of stone pelting had started haunting the Pahari youth of Jammu region also which was fraught with dangerous portends. Singh went down memory lanes and narrated the propaganda of BJP during 2014 Assembly elections which vowed to uproot ‘Baap Beta ki Sarkaar’ and ‘Baap Beti Ki Sarkar’ targeting Kashmir centric NC and PDP.
“PDP also trumpeted in the Valley to keep the BJP at bay by soliciting allegiance of the people to vote in their favour. In the face of polarized results in both the regions, the diametrically opposite parties entered into worst ever political debauchery which left their respective electorates shell shocked. The unholy marriage of convenience between the two ominous groups had been the main root cause of turmoil, mayhem and turbulence in the State and Kashmir valley in particular during which the armed insurgents and the stone pelters went on rampage in the last four years.
The hasty decision of unilateral ceasefire taken by the Union Govt despite the opposition by MoD and the Indian Army further gave a platinum opportunity to the terror outfits in the valley to regroup once again and mull satanic designs to intensify the carnage which had already resulted in the killings of hundreds of defence personnel during the Pak sponsored terror attacks and combat operations against the militants”, Harsh Dev added.
Prominent among those who spoke on the occasion included Yashpal Kundal, Parshotam Parihar, Pawan Dev Singh, Gagan Pratap Singh, Basharat Ali and others.
