| Lone’s starling disclosure belies CM’s claims on corruption: Khajuria | | | Early Times Reporter
Jammu | Jan 13
Pooh-phooing the Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad’s claim of having established a corruption free administration in Jammu and Kashmir, President State Unit of BJP Ashok Khajuria has said that the startling disclosures made by independent MLA, Shoiab Lone, son of the slain PDP leader and former PDP MLA, on the floor of the assembly has laid bare the disparities between falsehood and the actual ground situation. He said that the aggrieved MLA, who has also demanded CBI inquiry into the murder of his father saying he was physically liquidated by those who were fearing a split in the PDP, has said on the floor of the assembly that he had to pay rupees 40,000 as a bribe to a particular minister to get the work of his sister done should establish beyond any shadow of doubt that the State under the Congress-led regime has become the most corrupt state in India.
Referring to the recent anti national statements of Deputy Chief Minister Muzaffer Baig and Finance Minister Tariq Hamid Karra regarding separate currency and Pakistani currency, Khajuria said that it indicates the overt and covert support of the so called mainstream Congress party to what the PDP stands for and maintained that raising such anti-national stances these very leaders have undoubtedly broken the oath, gone beyond the constitutional confines and raised a banner of revolt against India.
Taking an exception to whatever the PDP leaders have said and done in and outside the assembly and the overt and covert support extended by the Congress to them by not breaking ties with the former, Khajuria said that being a nationalist party, the BJP has decided to make it an issue in order to educate public opinion and expose the dangerous ramifications of this unholy coalition of undesirable parties. This coalition, which has become a threat to national security and threat to the non-State Subjects, must go lock, stock and barrel, he added.
‘Governor, Lt Gen.(Retd.) S. K. Sinha, who has otherwise done exceedingly well by exposing the nature of the ongoing separatist movement and showing a right place to the likes the Muftis, has ‘failed to discharge his constitutional obligation’, the BJP Chief said, adding ‘by now he should have dismissed the Congress-led government and ordered legal proceedings against the erring ministers’. The BJP still believes that the Governor would take action and protect the Constitution, he observed.
Referring to Congress-led ruling coalition and the mainstream opposition National Conference, Khajuria said both these parties have once again proved that they were Valley-centric in the past and they continue to remain Valley-centric even today. The BJP believes that the humiliated and grossly ignored people of Jammu province, Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs included, have by now understood everything and that they would certainly inflict a crushing defeat on them when elections take place anytime between now and October 2008. As for the BJP, it is determined to secure for Jammu province a minimum of 43 seats in the 87-member assembly. This is the stand of the BJP and it is committed to remaining firm on it, he maintained. |
