Early Times Report
JAMMU, May 29: Is BJP playing a double-game to mislead and hoodwink the people of Jammu province, particularly people of Kathua, who have been demanding CBI probe into the alleged Kathua rape and murder case since January? If what the newly-elected president of J&K BJP Ravinder Raina reportedly said from Delhi on Monday about the whole Kathua case is to be believed, then the answer has to be in the affirmative.
Ravinder Raina said that he and former minister in the PDP-BJP coalition government Choudhary Lal Singh met BJP national president Amit Shah at New Delhi and discussed the whole Kathua case and the prevailing situation in the state as well as working of the BJP ministers in the coalition government. Quoting Amit Shah, Raina said that “Amit Shah gave Lal Singh a clean chit saying there was nothing wrong in demanding CBI probe into the Kathua case”.
The question is: If there was nothing wrong in demanding CBI probe into the much-publicized Kathua case, then why were Lal Singh and CP Ganga, another BJP leader and minister, were forced to resign? Another question is: If BJP national president Amit Shah has given a clean chit to Lal Singh, will the latter be re-inducted in the council of ministers? Clean chit to Lal Singh and his no-re-induction in the government can’t go hand-in-hand.
The BJP has to make its position clear. It can’t give a clean chit to Lal Singh and allow him to organize rallies in different parts of Jammu province in support of his demand seeking CBI probe into the Kathua case. Lal Singh has been holding meetings and rallies at different places after he was made to tender resignation from the ministry. He is attacking the state government and saying let the government falls. In fact, he is playing the role of opposition and raking up Dogra identity issue to garner people’s support in favour of CBI probe.
The BJP is in power at the Centre and is part of the government in J&K as well. It can order CBI probe in no time. All cards are in its own hand. If it doesn’t order CBI probe and continue to allow the former minister to do what he has been doing for more than 30 days now, then it would be concluded that the BJP is playing a double-role to keep the PDP in good humour and tell the people of Jammu that its leader and former minister is taking up their cause and case. This type of politics can’t do anymore or click anymore in Jammu.
