| Maharajas ruled Kashmir better than current government: BJP's Lal Singh | | | Agencies
SRINAGAR: Former minister and senior BJP legislator Lal Singh claimed that Maharaja’s ruled Kashmir better than the current elected government and politicians have turned Valley into hell and are now trying to divide and create tension in Jammu as well.
The BJP leader from Jammu said that J&K chief minister Mehboba Mufti, exploited holy month of Ramazan and pushed for ceasefire thinking she will please Pakistan and militants but they didn’t respond positively.
Singh, who was asked to resign from cabinet last month over his controversial participation in Hindu Ekta Manch rally organized in support of accused in rape and murder of 8-year-old Bakerwal girl in Jammu, reiterated the demand for CBI inquiry in the case. He accused Mufti of disrespecting the electorate of Jammu saying Dogras have been defamed by labeling them as ‘rapists and pro-rapists.’ Singh has remained a state cabinet minister thrice and parliament member twice till now.
Politicians have ruined Kashmir. Has Pakistan accepted or responded positively this ceasefire offer? Mehbooba thought she would play to galleries. Government of India was kind enough to keep her word. But what has Pakistan done. People on border areas continue to suffer. She should realize and stop playing to galleries,” Singh said.
After his resignation, Singh is carrying out rallies in Jammu, demanding CBI enquiry in the case and believes that the victim will get justice and her soul will rest in peace only after CBI enquiry. He also suggested that controversial Hindu Ekta Manch to be renamed as Dogra Ekta Manch to address fears of those who label it as communal platform. Singh’s rallies are well attended and are backed by various political, religious and business organizations of Jammu.
“They (politicians) cannot handle Kashmir and now they are trying to ruin Jammu. They broke Kashmir into pieces. Today, these politicians have sowed the seeds of hatred in every heart. Tell me one politician in Kashmir who can dare to organize a rally like we do in Jammu? These leaders go to Kashmir like thieves and can’t even visit their constituencies,” said Singh.
