Mere reshuffle will not suffice: Prof Gupta

Excelsior Correspondent

JAMMU, May 2: The former Union Minister, Prof Chaman Lal Gupta has stated that mere reshuffle in dispensation would not suffice.
In a statement issued here today he said, there is greater need to enforce laws and have discipline at various levels.
Prof Gupta said above all well considered measures should be taken to get liberated the peace loving people of the Valley who have been subjugated by the radicals operating at the dictates of their masters operating from across the borders.
Commenting upon the reshuffle in the State Ministry and some other changes, Prof Gupta observed that Pakistan has launched a proxy war in this part of India for the past 28 years after having failed to grab J&K in earlier three armed invasions. But by new tactics the enemy is engaged to harm the economy and life in this part of the country. Attempts are being made to make Kashmir as another Afghanistan and like some other countries which have been turned to be an area of radicalism making the life miserable.
In this regard, Prof Gupta particularly referred to gunning down of three youth in Baramulla area and some other brutal killings by the ultras and said that it was a strange situation that the elements crying for human rights over the action of the forces against terrorists and stone pelters as also their hartal calls and protests but they did not even condemn the brutalities being committed by ultras. Such elements, he said should be dealt with under law of the land and the proxy war should be dealt with like a war. The common man should be liberated from the fear of radicals and ultras.
Prof Gupta also assailed the semi-separatists who he said are playing dubious role to fish in the troubled waters by employing various tactics to communalize  the situation over various sad happenings.
