Jammu, May 17: Former IGP and state BJP spokesperson S.S.Bijral today said that granting amnesty to stone-pelters and now urging for unilateral ceasefire during Ramadan, holy month, we are fighting militancy or backing it.
Pointing the militants gun culture fading, prolonged protests proving counterproductive, their countering security forces with stone pelting getting befitting response, their commanders getting eliminated or caught with encouraging public support, Bijral said the struggle of enemy across is losing ground in valley.
He said the attack on school bus in Shopian inflicting head injury to class II Rehan Gosai and another of Rainbow International Educational Institute and fatal injury to 22 year old tourist from Chinnai with stones pelted on tempo they were travelling point to flattening graph of militancy. Amnesty to 9000 stone pelters followed by unilateral ceasefire by forces respecting Ramadan month on request of CM Mehbooba Mufti is like providing three decade old militancy a much needed breather.
He said huge sufferings unleashed on the state through militancy-the proxy war against India, demand restoration of normalcy at the earliest. This he said would come persisting a heavy hand to the dying militancy, coupled with sincere and dedicated welfare oriented corruption free governance by political government.
Bijral said security forces have done their job upholding the expectations, the political government in place deserve to upgrade J&K state long held despicable ranking on corruption - the litmus test of good governance. |
