| 'BJP never demand trifurcation of J&K' | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Aug 16 : Castigating, Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah over discrimination with Jammu and Ladakh region of state, the former state president, BJP Sham Sher Singh today stated that 67th Independence Day haranguing address by Chief Minister indicated his frustration and bereft of normal bearings due to his utter failure to curb the communal and extremists elements in his government.
Commenting on the Omar's accusation that BJP National leaders did not visit any communal riot hit place in the country excepting J&K where a minor communal incident took place in Kishtwar, Shamsher Singh Manhas said that it seems he is not aware that it is only in J&K state and in his beloved valley, where demographic change has been brought about by violent means by extremists forces.
"It is for this reason that BJP national leaders sought to come to the state to instill a sense of security and well being amongst the victims of the riots", he said, adding that it seems Omar has forgotten that from Kashmir valley miniscule minority was not tolerated and was forced to leave.
He further said, "Going by the sequence of events that presaged the actual riots in Kishtwar and coupled with the total inaction of the administration for eight long hours during riots under the conniving gaze of his Home Minister present in Kishtwar town, one is left with the impression that Omar's administration has been complicit in these riots hoping to repeat the valley's happening and bring about demographic change there also."
Manhas further castigated Omar for accusing BJP of seeking trifurcation of the state on communal considerations. He reminded Omar that Ladakhi Buddhists demand for separating their region and makes it a Union territory has not been brought about by BJP. This demand of Buddhists is decades old when BJP had no presence in Ladakh.
He expressed disappointment with the address of the Chief Minister on account of its being divisive and not inclusive as it should have been since the occasion was celebration of Independence Day and not a political rally.
During press conference he was accompanied by State General Secretaries Kavinder Gupta and Rajiv Jasrotia and State Press Secretary Balbir Ram Rattan were also present in the press conference. |
