| BJP's outreach programme nothing but a hoax: CPIM | | | Early times Report
Jammu, Jan 22: Senior CPI (M) leader and former legislator Mohammad Yousuf Tarigami on Wednesday said that the statement of Union Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi in Srinagar that his government's 'outreach programme' is aimed at resolving all the issues, confronting people in Jammu and Kashmir, is nothing but a hoax.
''The move to parachute 36 ministers to Jammu and Kashmir is propaganda in panic mode as the BJP has failed on every count. What is the need for the BJP ministers to visit J&K when the government claims everything is normal?,'' Tarigami said here in a statement. He said that the reality is that they want to sell Kashmir's "normalcy" and "all is well" story for those in India who are ignorant about Kashmir's ground realities. ''Where was the BJP government and its ministers when horticulture in Kashmir and agriculture in Jammu suffered massive losses due to heavy snowfall in the Valley in November and rainfall in Jammu? Why did BJP government forget about development that time when farmers of J&K were crying? Almost three months have passed since, but even proper assessment of losses has not been done so far,'' he said. Tarigami said that the people are eking out a tough existence in Kashmir. Daily wagers are not able to find work to feed their families. Thousands of businesses cannot pay their staff or keep them on their rolls.
