| Legitimate, elected govt alone is antidote to extremist violence: Harsh Dev Singh | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Apr 5: Expressing grave concern over escalation in extremist violence in the erstwhile state of J&K and selective killings of civilians and security personnel, Harsh Dev Singh former education minister today charged the centre of failure in dealing with Pak-sponsored militancy despite its tall claims. Singh said that while the governance in the UT seemed to have been outsourced to outside bureaucrats, there were hardly any takers for the growing alienation amongst the people against the present misrule.
Singh said that with the political process having been rendered defunct in the UT, political parties discredited and discouraged and saner voices suppressed through govt agencies, the law and order situation had suffered rapid deterioration. He said that J&K needed a full time popular government to save itself from further ruin and disaster.
"A narcissistically pleased and self-flagellated BJP patting its own back over the years for its self certified normalcy and so called revolutionary changes in J&K had only evoked cynicism amongst the masses. The decisions of August 5, 2019 and extension of various other laws in pursuance thereof including the domicile law did not seem to have inspired the common masses or the youth of the UT. The fact remained that abrogation of article 370 had failed to make any difference except that it was being used as a political fire-cracker in other states during elections," said Singh.
Singh said that while very little was known to the people of other states regarding article 370 and its repercussions, the BJP was using its repeal as an electoral trump card to exploit the gullibility of masses of various states of the country. He said that the govt's claims of having stopped infiltration and curbed Pak insurgency had proved as mere hyperboles with militant activities having spread to even peaceful areas of Jammu region.
Singh said that the recent bomb blast in Udhampur and other parts of Jammu region besides recurrent incidents of bloodshed and mayhem in valley had exposed all haughty claims made by the government. He accused the central government of indulging in incessant chest thumping in the wake of growing alienation in J&K.
Singh called for early restoration of political process in J&K and said that local leadership alone could represent the cause of its people, fulfil their aspirations and end their alienation. He said that militancy had rapidly died down in J&K in late 1990s after installation of the popular govt seeking an end to 'proxy' rule in J&K and early elections. |
