Early Times Report
JAMMU, May 3: Duplicity of power hungry BJP has once again exposed when party leaders 'shamelessly' condemned stone pelters of Kashmir Valley who had attacked a school bus knowing the fact that amnesty to these stone throwers was given by none else then their own government in J&K.
Being an important constituent of the coalition government, BJP is part of the highly controversial decision taken by the state government to release over 9000 stone pelters who were involved in attacking security forces through stones as part of agitational terrorism.
With the consent of BJP government at the Centre, the PDP-BJP alliance in J&K had approved withdrawal of cases registered against 9,730 people involved in stone-pelting incidents, including first-time offenders, between 2008 and 2017.
The State Government had also recommended to give amnesty to more than 4,000 people, who were said to be involved in minor incidents of stone pelting over the past two years. This decision of the Centre and state government has encouraged stone pelters who have now started attacking school going children.
On the one hand BJP is allowing amnesty to stone pelters, while on the other hand, leaders of same party, to befool the people, are condemning these stone pelters for whom Centre has announced many package at the cost of nationalist people of Jammu.
Today BJP national vice president and incharge of J&K Avinash Rai Khanna said, "stone pelting and targeting small, innocent school children is a heinous crime beyond any scope of pardon or justification".
The act has exposed all those who have been supporting stone pelters, Khanna said adding that instead of nipping this evil in the bud, many people even in mainstream politics, just for the sake of politics keep defending stone pelters, which only emboldened them to the extent that they are not now sparing small kids.
While strongly condemning this act, Avinash Rai Khanna stressed upon the state government , police and other law enforcing agencies, to identify the culprits and give harsh punishment so that justice is done with small kids, who have nothing to do with the stone pelters or their inhuman acts. He further said that they have crossed all limits of human values and are now blindly pursuing what their masters are telling them to do. But no cause is worth the human live, particularly small children, who have been mindlessly targeted by the stone pelters, he added. The incident is also an eye opener for those who always point fingers towards security forces, who are otherwise soft targets of these frustrated stone pelters.
