Jammu | June 29
Keenly watching the development from the national angle, the BJP chief Rajnath Singh has called for imposition of the President’s rule in Jammu and Kashmir in view of the present deepening controversy over Amarnath pilgrimage and reduction of the government into minority.
The BJP president Rajnath Singh who was in Ranchi today was quoted by the agencies as saying that President's rule should be imposed in Jammu and Kashmir following the ongoing crisis triggered by the Amaranth shrine controversy in the valley.
"The President's rule should be clamped in Jammu and Kashmir called in as the law and order was beyond the control of the state government," he said. The senior BJP leader warned against any review on the transfer of land to the Amaranth shrine board in the background of the political crisis in Jammu and Kashmir after the PDP (People's Democratic Party) pulled out of the Ghulam Nabi Azad government.
In a separate statement, party’s Vice President Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi asked the Centre to rush adequate para-military forces to Jammu and Kashmir to contain the situation there and threatened that any surrender to "separatists and anti-national forces" on Amarnath land transfer issue would spark nationwide protests.
"Centre should rush in adequate para military forces to contain the situation and send strong message to separatist and anti-national forces to save sovereignty of India and autonomy of Amarnath Shrine”.
Naqvi threatened that any surrender on the issue would spark off nationwide protests.
Terming the withdrawal of PDP from the government as a "joint political drama", he said "it is enacted by Congress and PDP to distance themselves from the decision to allot land to Shri Amarnath Shrine Board (SASB)". The BJP's minority cell leader also said the transfer of land to the temple Board is a golden opportunity to provide a "healing touch to the minority Hindu community in the state".
"It would help build bridges of harmony and understanding between the people of Kashmir and rest of the state and country," he said, adding the issue was used to polarise the society by misleading the people of the state. Naqvi also made a scathing attack on the PDP for attempting to "tear apart the state's fragile secular fabric".
Kashmir valley, which witnessed widespread protest over the Amarnath land transfer row in the past six days that left three dead and over 250 injured, remained tense but peaceful today. |
