JAMMU, Dec 24: The BJP Government at the Centre has pushed Jammu and Kashmir into unprecedented political uncertainty due to its inability to maintain law and order in the Union Territory.
This was stated by Ajay Kumar Sadhotra, senior NC leader and former Minister while addressing a meeting of Party cadre of Jammu East Block at party office. Rattan Lal Gupta, Provincial president JKNC, Jammu was also present.
Sadhotra sharply criticized the Government at the Centre for its failure to ensure the safety and security of Jammu and Kashmir’s citizens. He drew attention to the increase in targeted killings and consistent attacks on the armed forces, pointing out the significant discrepancy between the BJP leadership’s claims of ‘normalcy’ in J&K and the actual situation on the ground.
He said the recent tragic incident in Surankote area of Poonch district, wherein five soldiers were martyred, is a stark reminder of the deteriorating security situation in Jammu and Kashmir. The violent attack outside a mosque, coupled with the killing of a retired SSP, has shaken the local community and raised serious concerns about the safety of civilians and former law enforcement personnel, he said.
Earlier, Chander Mohan Sharma District president Jammu Urban, apprised the senior functionaries about the problems being faced by the people of East Block with regard to shortage of basic amenities like scarcity of power and water supply, civic amenities, etc.
Rattan Lal Gupta, termed it unfortunate that people were being subjected to immense suffering for want of basic amenities in absence of popular Government in Jammu and Kashmir. He said that due to lack of vision and wrong policies of the Government, people of J&K are facing a crisis like situation with each segment of society feeling abject neglect. The present Government has failed to ensure delivery at the basic levels like availability of ration, power, health, education sector and unemployment.
Bashir Ahmed, Provincial secretary, Jammu, asked people of East Constituency to strengthen the hands of Dr Farooq Abdullah and Omar Abdullah as the NC alone can steer J&K to peace, progress and political stability.
Senior leaders Pardeep Bali, Ayub Malik, Ankush Abrol, Bimla Luthra, Vijay Lakhshmi Datta, Waris Gill Dilshad Malik and others were also present.
