| Farooq cautions LG against babus working with ‘colonial’ mindset | | Apparently endorses Early Times reports | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Aug 31: A veteran politician of J&K and former Chief Minister Dr. Farooq Abdullah today cautioned Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha against a coterie of arrogant bureaucrats who are treating the Union Territory as their fiefdom and treating residents of J&K as ‘second class citizens.’
This breed of Babus is also making every effort to demonize and degrade all established politicians of J&K including those of opposition and BJP also.
Endorsing campaign launched by The Early Times to expose such Babus- who are working with the colonial mindset and treating J&K as their colony, Dr. Farooq Abdullah informed the Lieutenant Governor that these officers have no courtesy to even respond to the phone calls of politicians.
Abdullah expressed his anguish that government officials of the Jammu and Kashmir administration “don’t pick phones as if some ghost is hanging upon them”. He requested Sinha to instruct officials to answer phone calls of people.
Dr. Abdullah, who was participating in the Parliamentary outreach programmed for strengthening Parliamentary Raj Institutions (PRIs), seized the opportunity to expose such autocratic officers before Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla and LG Manoj Sinha.
All mainstream political parties of J&K are facing arrogant officers who rarely respond to phone calls of senior politicians.
As reported by the Early Times, a coterie of officers in J&K are hell-bent to sabotage the visionary agenda of the Union Government headed by Prime Minister, Narendra Modi and the UT government headed by Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha. It was all due to the autocratic style of functioning of these officers that the gap between masses and government is widening with every passing day.
Dr. Farooq Abdullah gave a clear message to these officers that very soon democratically elected government would be established in J&K and such anti-people officers would be taken to task for mistreating residents of J&K.
“Soon a government will be formed in Jammu and Kashmir which will make government officials answerable to the people,” Abdullah said. |
