| BJP delegation calls on Governor, presents memo on Sagheer Report | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Jan 27: A high level delegation of State BJP, led by State President Shamsher Singh Manhas today called on the state Governor N N Vohra and submitted a memorandum over the issue of Justice Sagheer report on centre-state relations.
The BJP leaders expressed their resentment over the report and out rightly rejecting it, urged upon the Governor to convey the same to the Union government as he is the centre’s representatives and it becomes all the more important on his part to convey the resentment over the report to the Union government and recommend its immediate rejection failing which the public outrage against the report may spread all across the State and the country.
In a lengthy memorandum the BJP alleged that the report is biased and unbalanced as much as it has completely ignored the view point of all those forces, people, institutions, political parties and social activists who are votaries of complete and full integration of the state with the rest of the country.
The delegation comprised on Legislators Party Prof. Chaman Lal Gupta, National Executive Member Dr. Nirmal Singh, former State President Ashok Khajuria, Dy. Leader Jugal Kishore Sharma and party MLAs Ch. Shyam, Prof. Gharu Ram, Ch. Sukhnandan, Durga Dass, Bharat Bhushan and Master Lal Chand .
The memorandum further says that the report is technically and legally unjustifiable as it has been finalized without going through the mandatory procedure of consulting and seeking consent of other members aimed to evolve a consensus among them. The Working Group Chairman Justice Sagheer Ahmed failed to hold the required meetings of the group during last two years and instead rushed through the process of hurriedly submitting the report which renders it unworthy of any consideration. The report is without the regard or consideration for the views of other members constituting the Working Group, including that of BJP representative Arun Jaitley. They had not been consulted and the report before submission was not circulated among them for their views and approval.
The memorandum pointed out that Autonomy or Self-Rule can have no place in the state of Jammu and Kashmir given its total and complete dependence upon the Government of India for finance and other resources. The BJP being a responsible national party and representative of a huge segment of population of the state stresses that Autonomy will only worsen the condition of the common man and would be of no help in the improvement of his quality of life. The BJP totally and completely rejects all such proposals/ moves which weaken or tend to weaken the bonds of the J&K state with rest of the country and under no circumstances would allow weakening or dilution of sovereignty of India over state of Jammu and Kashmir.
The BJP stands for redressal of genuine outstanding issues like delimitation of assembly constituencies, safe and honourable return of displaced Kashmiri Pandit community, redress of the problems of refugees from West Pakistan, PoK refugees of 1947, 1965, 1971 and equitable regional distribution of funds and resources to end discrimination against Jammu and Ladakh regions, the memorandum adds.
