| Governance being outsourced in J&K: Harsh | | |
Early Times Report
Majalta, Jan 23: With the posting of a Tamil Nadu cadre IAS officer as 4th Advisor to Governor having been cleared by GOI, the central Govt's intentions to continue to run the state through its proxies had become more pronounced, said Harsh Dev Singh JKNPP Chairman and Former Minister.
It was unfortunate that rather than announcing early schedule for restoration of democratic rule and installation of popular govt the state, the centre was appointing its chosen ones from outside the state to head the administrative set up in the state, said Singh.
He said that peculiar situation in J&K could be handled only by those who had a connect with the general masses and were aware of the basic issues confronting the people of all three regions of the state.
The outside bureaucrats with hardly any knowledge of the history and geography of the state and its people could never do justice with the unusual and extra-ordinary positioning of the state, said Singh. And if at all the appointment of additional Advisors was deemed necessary, then why the local bureaucrats and intellectuals are being ignored, questioned Harsh.
He was addressing huge public meetings in Chani and Dhamma villages of Ramnagar constituency today.
Accusing the GOI of having outsourced governance in the state by appointing non local bureaucrats as heads of state institutions, Mr. Sigh questioned the silence of the champions of special status of the state over the issue.
"Where are those who were giving loud slogans and swearing in the name of Autonomy and 'self rule' day in and day out? Why don't they speak for local Advisors in place of outside bureaucrats?
Why should different communities of the state be ignored in the matter of governance?
Why should the local SCs and STs of state be disregarded in the matter of appointment of Advisors despite having tremendous potential and administrative acumen?"
Questioned Singh while expressing indignation over the appointment of non-locals as Advisors in the state.
Asserting that Advisors had failed to come up to peoples' expectations, Singh said that early elections alone could satisfy the urges and aspirations of the people. He said that the Advisors were wholly dependent upon bureaucracy and as such some corrupt officers were calling the shots making the Advisors dance to their tunes. |
