| ‘Budget Session-2010’ | | BJP to grill coalition on surrender policy, Sagheer’s report | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Feb 21: Unveiling its strategy to grill the ruling coalition Government in Legislative Assembly during 43-day-long budget session commencing from tomorrow, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) today said that it would prominently rake up the issues of surrender policy, Justice Sagheer Committee report and appointment of Chairmen of different boards through “extra-constitutional” way
The Party, however, also raised various other issues like Delimitation, price rise, plight of refugees, unemployed youth and internally displaced Kashmiri Hindus.
Talking to media persons here, Chaman Lal Gupta, Leader of BJP Legislature Party and former Union Minister said, “Coalition Government would have to answer about surrender policy and its contours. The BJP being a strong opposition would not allow the ruling dispensation to promote gun culture in the name of return and rehabilitation of militants from Pakistan occupied Kashmir.”
He also disclosed that the Party would ask the Jammu based Congress leaders to clear their stand over the surrender policy, adding “They should make their affiliations clear. They must make it clear whether are they affiliated to Omar Abdullah or Ghulam Nabi Azad or are they opportunists.”
“It is very unfortunate that earlier Congress had opposed the surrender policy in the last assembly, but now its leadership in the state is silent and is following the policies of National Conference,” he maintained.
On the Sagheer Ahmed’s report on Centre-State Relations suggesting greater autonomy for Jammu and Kashmir, the BJP leader said that the party and every nationalist section in the state has opposed the report. “The report is against the interests of nationalist forces of the state who have suffered due to gun and it gives legitimacy to the greater Autonomy sought by the National Conference,” he said.
He further said that coalition government would have to explain why posts of various boards are being filled in “extra-constitutional ways.”
“Government has slowly adjusted its favourites in different boards which are against the democratic norms and they would have to answer this in the Assembly session,” he said, adding that the defeated candidates of the elections have been appointed as heads of some boards.
On the supply of ration in Jammu region, Gupta said that the CAPD department is adopting “discriminatory policy” and ration card holders in Jammu are not being provided with the specified scale of ration. He alleged that in Kashmir valley, each card holder is provided 50 kg of ration per month, while in Jammu ration card holders are given just 20- 25 kg, which is against the norms. “There are 86000 ration card holders in Jammu and government should released 43000 quintals of ration but just 17000-18000 quintals of ration is being released and that too not on time,” he said.
