| BJP, Cong must come clear on state subject laws: Rana | | |  Early Times Report
JAMMU, Sept 29: National Conference Provincial President Devender Singh Rana on Saturday asked the BJP and Congress to clear stand on the state subject laws, saying the two parties cannot play hide and seek or sit on both sides of the fence on this important and sensitive issue.
"BJP and Congress sing different tones at different places on the state subject laws as per their political exigencies and the ambiguity in their stand has been mainly responsible for the unprecedented political uncertainty in Jammu and Kashmir", Rana said while addressing senior party colleagues of Poonch, Rajouri and Gool Arnas areas of the Jammu Province at Sher-e-Kashmir Bhavan here this afternoon.
Those present in the meeting included the Rattan Lal Gupta and Mushtaq Ahmed Bukhari State Secretaries, Javeed Ahmed Rana MLA, Rachpal Singh and Abdul Gani Malik Central Secretaries, Sheikh Bashir Ahmed Provincial Secretary, Ajaz Jan Provincial President YNC, Rahim Daad Ex-MLC and others.
The Provincial President blamed the Congress and the BJP for bringing the state to such a passé where confusion and chaos has overtaken the genuine political process and aspirations. The two parties seem to be in league with each other to marginalize the genuine political forces in a bid to weaken the distinct status of Jammu and Kashmir and identity of its people, he said, adding that National Conference will no more allow these machinations to succeed, come what may.
Rana assailed the BJP and the Congress for playing politics over state subject laws with a larger and sinister design and colonial mindset. He said National Conference will fight tooth and nail the sinister designs of the two parties, adding that the people of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh were sagacious enough to read between the lines. He reiterated that any attempt of diluting or repealing state subject laws will be instrumental in squeezing employment opportunities for enterprising youth by paving way for the youth of the other states.
Rana said the attempts of tinkering with the state subject law is a matter of grave concern for the people of Jammu in particular, as it is a shield to unique Dogra culture and identity besides their economic interests. |
