Centre hell-bent to continue proxy rule in J&K: Harsh 12/18/2019 10:46:23 PM Early Times Report Majalta, Dec 18: Alleging subversion of democracy in J&K post Article 370 abrogation, Harsh Dev Singh, Chairman-JKNPP & former Education Minister today said that BJP led govt. appeared to be averse to the idea of holding Assembly elections in the new set up. He said that while no initiative had been taken to restore popular rule in J&K, the appointment of Lt. Governor had been followed by fresh appointments of the Advisors known for their proximity with the ruling party at the centre. And there were further reports of a few more Advisors with political background being appointed in the near future to help the ruling party consolidate its base in the new UT, claimed Singh. He said that with political process having been rendered defunct in J&K and political parties discredited and discouraged, the centre seemed to be hell bent to continue its proxy rule in the erstwhile State. He was addressing public meetings in Mansar, Battal, Paldai, Nali and Khoon villages of Tehsil Majalta. Asserting that legitimate, elected govt. alone could represent and honour the popular sentiment, Singh questioned the rationale behind repeated postponement of Assembly Elections in J&K. He said that Election Commission had earlier taken a call for simultaneous polls of Assembly & Parliament which however did not materialize. It later issued a statement on 4th June, 2019 stating therein that the EC "after the conduct of Amarnath Yatra will announce the election schedule for the conduct of Assembly Elections in J&K", revealed Singh adding that it too turned out to be a damp squib. Likewise, statements of early Assembly polls were issued by Central Govt. Governor and the Lt. Governor also, which too created only cynicism amongst the masses in view of the frequency with which they were made and then forgotten. Pointing towards euphoria created post Article 370 abrogation in the name of fresh Delimitation of Assembly constituencies, Singh said that it too had petered out with no action initiated in this regard by the Central Government.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
