| “Self-Rule, dual control” hypotheses harming national integration: Vakil | | Terms its floating example of ‘blow hot, blow cold’ | | Early Times Reporter
Jammu | Apr 8
Downplaying the hotchpotch concepts regarding Kashmir centric issues, the Senior Vice President JKPCC and Minister for Social Welfare Abdul Gani Vakil has ridiculed the dual control hypothesis floated by a political party describing it anti-national and naive. “Why should the people accept foreign control, when they are themselves sovereign and master of the situation”, Mr. Vakil said and added that raising of ‘self-rule slogan’ at one hand and floating the idea of ‘dual control’ on the other amounts to blowing hot and cold in a same breath.
Addressing a large public gathering at Supper-Naghama, Langate in Northern Kashmir on Monday, Mr. Vakil said Congress would tooth and nail oppose all efforts aimed at weakening national integration and dividing people for vote bank politics. “Why can’t be we sincere to the people and speak truth, he questioned and said the days of petty politics and double speak were gone and there was no taker for hollow slogans. “People are wise enough to read between the lines and understand the politics of cheating for power”.
He said, “Congress stands for peace, prosperity and development of all the regions of the state and recongnizes the democratic rights of the people and nurtures these in an atmosphere of secularism and brotherhood”. He said, “Jammu and Kashmir enjoys special status and the people of the state are themselves sovereign and capable to settle all issues within the framework of the Constitution of India. Foreign forces have no role in the internal matters of the state and the country”.
Referring to the large scale development kick-started in the state by the government, Mr. Vakil said that unprecedented financial and logistic support provided by the UPA Government to Mr. Azad catapulted the development process to new highs. He said the dream of connecting valley with railway link was coming true after 60 years. He said Mr. Azad’s efforts and his influence in the central politics opened new vistas of development in the state. “For the first time it is being observed that all Union Ministries are liberal in providing funds and schemes to Jammu and Kashmir to help its reconstruction and give fillip to the economy”. |
