| Put house in order or seek fresh mandate: Randhir to Govt | | NCP celebrates foundation day | |
Jammu June 10
‘Asking the government to put its house in order and fulfill the promises made to the people or go in for dissolution of the Assembly to seek fresh mandate’, the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) has alleged that coalition partners in Jammu and Kashmir were pulling in different directions causing confusion leading to non-governance.
Inaugurating week long celebrations of 9th foundation day of the party, the State NCP President and former Minister Randhir Singh said here today that as a result of divergent opinions between the coalition partners on various issues like demilitarization, creation of new assembly seats, settlement of 1947, 1965, 1971 and West Pakistani refugees apart from permanent settlement of Kashmiri migrants, the working of the state government has almost come to a halt. ‘It would be in the interest of the people of Jammu and Kashmir to have a mid term Assembly polls’, he asserted.
Holding squarely responsible political leadership of past and the present for present state of affairs and miseries of the people, the NCP President said that such leaders functioned with their vested interests in mind and never bothered to formulate and implement peoples’ policies with the result the employment has been growing up and educated youth of Ladakh and Jammu are fighting for their political and cultural identities.
Maintaining that NCP would not remain a silent spectator as militancy is again on the rise and sufferings of the people have manifold, Singh cautioned the Congress to change its style of functioning in Jammu and Kashmir regretting that while communal and small parties were invited for deliberations at various forums, the NCP which is an important partner in the UPA at the Centre was not taken into confidence on any matter.
Stressing the need for setting up of delimitation commission to carve out assembly and parliament constituencies as per the population in each regions of the state, the NCP President demanded that one Parliamentary constituency be created for Rajouri and Poonch districts, besides making Finance Commission functional by appointing its Chairman and other members, to ensure equitable development in all the areas of the state.
He said that NCP resolves that the peace process in the state must include the vital views and aspirations of the people of Jammu and Kashmir adding that the message that only militancy pays, the nationalist forces suffer, which has gained wide currency, needed to be nullified. ‘The flood of money gushes into the state today from various sources, foreign as well as from the central government, is the cause of militancy and also pollution of democracy in Jammu and Kashmir’, he alleged..
The NCP President also demanded a special employment package to tackle the growing unemployment problem in the state, putting construction of hydel power projects on fast track, setting up of industrial units in various parts of the state as per the availability of raw material, besides declaring Jammu and Kashmir as a herbal state and renaming Jammu University after Maharaja Gulab Singh and Sher-i- Kashmir Agricultural Sciences and Technology, Jammu as Baba Jito Agriculture University and construction of an international airport in Badi- Badhori- Ismailpur area renaming it as Mata Vaishno Devi International Airport.
