| AAP leaders hold meet, discuss J&K scenario | | |  Early Times Report
JAMMU, Jan 31: The AAP leaders of J&K held an emergency meeting today under the Chairmanship of Harsh Dev Singh at Jammu to take stock of the prevalent scenario in the UT in the wake of mal-governance of the present regime which had sparked massive outrage in various parts of the erstwhile state. The meeting dwelt at length over the deteriorating law and order in J&K, development inertia, growing unemployment, burgeoning corruption and the culpable apathy shown by the govt towards the burning issues of the common masses. The meeting was convened at the behest of Provincial President of Kashmir unit Dr. Ghulam Mustafa Khan and other party leaders of the team. It was attended among others by several senior leaders of AAP including Yashpaul Kundal (Ex-Minister); S. Deep Singh (Founder member); Major General (rtd.) Jagdish Singh Jamwal; Farooq Banday Chief Engineer (rtd.) & Ex-bureaucrats; Ram Singh Chouhan; Kuldip Kumar Rao; Mir Mudasir; Dr. Ayoub Matoo; G.N Parray; Abdul Hamid Bhat; Fayaz Ahmed; Waseem Ahmed; Amit Langer besides others.
Speaking on the occasion, Major General (retd.) Jamwal and S. Deep Singh expressed concern over the gradual deterioration in security scenario and the failure of the govt to curb militancy in the erstwhile state which had consumed several precious lives including those of innocent civilians. They emphasized the need for early restoration of statehood and restoration of democratic govt which alone could steer the people out of the present crisis.
Dr. Mustafa Khan and Dr. Ayoub Matoo strongly condemned the govt for launching eviction drive against the poor and marginalized sections of society and for bulldozing the houses of indigent masses thereby rendering them homeless. They accused the govt of adopting double standards with regard to provision of security to the political leadership and ignoring opposition leaders despite their vulnerability.
Kuldip Rao and R.S Chouhan said that there were two separate sets of laws in J&K. One for BJP and another for opposition leaders and common masses. While the BJP leaders were being treated as state guests and free govt accommodation with huge security paraphernalia was provided to them at state expose, the opposition leaders especially of AAP were being subjected to most hostile discrimination by the helmsmen ruling the roost.
Yashpaul Kundal drew the attention of the members towards the stalled development and rampaging corruption which had become all pervasive. He appealed to all the activists of the party to rake up the issues of the public and make the govt functionaries accountable for their mis-deeds and non-governance.
Harsh Dev Singh said that an elected popular govt. alone was the panacea for many of the ills afflicting the system in the new set up in J&K. The outside bureaucrats who had hardly any knowledge about the peculiar features of the State, its varied culture, topography, history, language, geography and other distinguishing traits could not be the substitute for a legitimate elected government. They could only add to the prevailing confusion and instability, said Singh while urging upon the centre to hand over the reins of power to the people of J&K who had been wrongfully deprived of their democratic and other Constitutional guarantees. |
