| Peace can’t be obtained by yielding under pressure: Chaman Lal | | | Early Times Reporter
Jammu | Mar 31
While, holding congress responsible for number of problems in Jammu and Kashmir, the former union minister and senior leader of the BJP, Prof. Chaman Lal Gupta warned the UPA government for lowering the guards and opting for confused approach on many already settled issues.
Addressing a public meeting at border village of Haripur in Hiranagar sector today, Prof. Gupta said peace cannot be obtained by yielding under pressures. In this regard, he particularly referred withdrawal of troops even from sensitive areas like hill kaka and other places in Poonch, Rajouri bordering Pakistan occupied Kashmir as also elsewhere in militancy ineffected areas and said that the plight of the national lists in a such a situation can be well imagined especially when it was officially confessed that there was no let up in the designs of ISI of Pakistan and the large number of terrorists are still being trained for infiltration to this side of the line of control. He regretted that to save their coalition the congress both in the state as also at the centre is bartering national interests for cozy chairs. But the time is not far off when the nationalist people of this state and that of rest of country would teach a lesson to such elements playing with the honour and dignity of the country.
Prof. Gupta castigated those also who are creating confusion about the unity of the country by raising the slogans of autonomy and self-rule instead of denouncing the menace of cross border terror and killings of the innocent persons. It was a strange situation that they talk more about the human rights of the ultras and persons involved in challenging the integrity of the country instead of the sad plight of the victims of terrorism and extremism. The BJP leader questioned the bonafides of the ruling congress and its allies pointing out that thousand of vacancies of doctors, engineers, technocrats and others are lying for years together and on the other hand many thousand unemployed trained and highly educated youths are on the roads but these were not filled up for ulterior motives. He also assailed the government for not paying the compensation to the farmers of border areas on the pretext that these lands belonged to the custodian department although the compensation was paid by the defence ministry for the losses to the farmers suffered because these lands remained under control of the army during the army build up in wake of the terrorist attack on the parliament. |
