Early Times Report
Jammu, Oct 28: Even as over the years there was a “custom” that a coterie of “influential businessmen of Kashmir with allegedly dubious credentials” would manage a meeting with high profile dignitaries from New Delhi visiting the valley, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who is seen as the strongman, has “ended that tradition.” Infact Shah didn’t even meet the “dynasts”.
Sources said the administration of Jammu and Kashmir had been in touch with such so called influential lobby of Kashmir that they would get a chance to meet the visiting dignitary.
Sources said “Some so called civil society faces including businessmen who are defaulters of multi crore bank loans and those who in the past had been accused of acting as brokers between separatists and government had been hoping to get a separate meeting with Shah.”
Sources said some of the officials in the administration in Jammu and Kashmir were also interested in such a meeting so that a “rosy picture of administrative affairs would be portrayed before the Union Home Minister.”
But sources said no such “one-one-one” meeting could mature as the Union Home Ministry had kept an “exclusive people friendly plan for the visit” of the Home Minister who was flanked by MOS in Prime Minister’s Office Dr Jitendra Singh.
Sources said for the last around a fortnight “this coterie of influential persons in Kashmir had been touch with some senior officials in the administration that their separate meeting should be ensured with Amit Shah.”
“While this coterie wanted to show that they are close to Home Ministry and thus should get special incentives from the JK admin, some officials wanted them to appreciate their work before him(Amit Shah) but all such hopes got washed away,” said some officials on the condition of anonymity.
They said “A group was also lobbying to seek extension for some officials on deputation in Kashmir but that no such sycophancy could find its way.”
Observers said it was appreciable on the part of the Amit Shah to have “ended the culture of useless meetings with those having dubious credentials.”
“Amit Shah Ji has brought an end to grey areas so there was no need to meet such grey faces who are partly nationalists and partly separatists for their personal interests which run into crores or rupees,” said an observer.
It’s pertinent to mention that Amit Shah’s visit to Jammu and Kashmir has drawing public appreciation for numerous reasons. |
