Early Times Report
Jammu, Apr 16: Amused over the outbursts and 'melodramatic rants' of Ch. Lal Singh and Chander Parkash Ganga over the Rassana case, after their dismissal from council of Ministers, Harsh Dev Singh JKNPP Chairman and former Minister questioned their silence over the matter between March 1st and April 13, i.e the date of their sacking from ministerial berths. He pointed out that the two Ministers had assured the people in a public meeting at Kootah, Hiranagar on March 1st of getting the case probed through CBI within two days and even threatened of pulling down the govt in case the PDP refused to accept the demand. He regretted that all the tall talk and loud pronouncements of March 1st proved hoax and vanished into the then air when Mehbooba turned down the demand of CBI probe the very next day. And with that did the said Ministers vanish into the blue with not a word heard from their side for next 43 days till April 13, the date of their extermination. He said that during the intervening period, the people of Rassana, Hiranagar and adjoining localities desperately looked for the two leaders, sending them reminders who however failed to respond to their repeated calls.
It was the toughest period for the people of District Kathua who faced nightmarish experiences with males, females, aged and children languishing on the roads and facing police atrocities and administrative pressures with none of the BJP Ministers or MLAs coming forward for solace or succour, lamented Harsh. When the people of District Kathua including females were being Lathi-charged, arrested and humiliated, these Ministers preferred to remain insulated in their cocooned and sanitized ministerial world deliriously unmindful of the loud promises made by them, he regretted. |
