| Gupta assails HM's response to restoration of statehood | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Jan 24: Strongly criticizing the response of Home Minister Amit Shah to the overwhelming demand of the people of Jammu and Kashmir with regard to restoration of statehood, National Conference Provincial President, Rattan Lal Gupta today expressed surprise over conveniently ignoring the commitments made in Parliament.
"By backtracking from the assurances, the issue is now being tagged to 'appropriate time', which is admission that situation is not normal in J&K is not normal despite the claims of the Centre and the BJP", Gupta said in a statement issued from Sher-i-Kashmir Bhavan here.
Gupta referred to the rhetoric and routine promises held out during the so-called good governance conference by the Home Minister, saying the people of this part of the country cannot be misled anymore as they know the gimmicks by the BJP led dispensation at the Centre, which is totally insensitive towards the issues confronted to Jammu and Kashmir.
He said the people of marginalized Jammu and Kashmir are craving for restoration of their snatched rights and guarantee over the safeguard of the legitimate rights of the permanent residents over jobs, lands and businesses.
Referring to the burgeoning unemployment problem and denial of jobs to skilled, unskilled and professional youth in the central projects being carried out in Jammu and Kashmir, the Provincial President said this is injustice and discrimination as the locals are the primary stakeholders.
He expressed concern over cancellation of the police recruitment drive at the last moment despite the eligible aspirants having prepared for the process. He sought the process to be expedited for the larger interest of the border youth, as also others who have been desperately craving for the jobs. The Provincial President hoped that the Lt Governor's Administration will pick up the thread in this regard and go for a massive on spot recruitment process in the rural and border areas. |
