SRINAGAR, Oct 23: Jammu and Kashmir National Conference general secretary Ali Mohd Sagar today said that life of people of J&K is caught in the vortex of fear and uncertainty due to everyday government notifications and orders.
Sagar, who was interacting with scores of delegations at party headquarters here today said that Kashmir has become a testing laboratory of injudicious and ill-considered policies of GOI and that on everyday basis the administration was coming up with flawed orders and policies.
“After the unilateral and unconstitutional Aug 05 measures and the successive clamp downs and COVID-19 induced lock down, the life of a common Kashmiri continues to remain on edge. Far from assuaging the situation by making amends to the wrongs committed by it, the incumbent ruling dispensation at the center is rampantly carrying on its mission of disenfranchising Kashmiris, giving a damn to the interests of the people of J&K,” he said.
Sagar said that the present regime in J&K and at the Center was confused over Kashmir and the same. He said this gets reflected in hasty issuance and subsequent revoking of various orders. He said that not even a day passes by when the incumbent J&K administration doesn’t have to come up with a clarification on one or the other issue.
“Recently property tax was introduced in J&K, but owing to the public outcry the administration had to backtrack on it. This comes at a time when the people are already struggling due to administrative inertia, unaccountability and development deficit,” he said.
While decrying the implementation of new retirement rules, he said all that all the subsequent amendments and notification post 5th of august are a consequence of the J&K State Reorganization Act 2019, which he said was constitutionally suspect. “The everyday notifications are against constitutional and parliamentary propriety. Ideally the government should have waited for the constitutional bench’s decision on the validation of measures undertaken by the government of India on August 5,” he said.
The visiting delegations which had come from Devsar, Sangrama, Baramulla, Anantnag, and Budgam appraised Sagar about the widespread unaccountability and administration inertia that has beset their respective areas.
