| Land transfer was not my decision: Sinha | | | New Delhi | Aug 7
It is not just the present Governor of Jammu and Kashmir N N Vohra who is facing ire over the Amarnath land controversy, but also the former Governor Lt Gen SK Sinha, who has often been criticised for his role in the raging land transfer row.
In an exclusive interview to an electronic news channel, a defensive Sinha said that he did nothing wrong.
In the last few months since the Amarnath controversy began, a lot of finger pointing has been going on, majority of which has been aimed in the direction of the former Jammu and Kashmir Governor Lt Gen (Retd) S K Sinha. Sinha has been facing accusations that the entire Amarnath mess has come about due to a decision to transfer the land undertaken by him.
When asked for his take on the issue, Sinha said, "There is a tremendous amount of misinformation. People do not know facts and have been making totally false allegations."
Clarifying his stand over the flak he received over that decision, Sinha said, "I did not take the decision to divert land for Amarnath Yatra. The decision was taken by the state government."
Blaming the People's Democratic Party for the ongoing situation at Jammu and Kashmir, Sinha said, "Mufti Mohammed Sayeed is known for his communal and anti-national activities. He and his party jumped onto the bandwagon to take on the leadership of this movement and the theatre was absurd. The party which sanctioned it now tries to do this." |
