| BJP asks Congress to clear stand on self –rule | | | EARLY TIMES REPORTER
JAMMU | OCT 27
The state BJP has once again asked the Congress to clear its stand on the PDP’’s demand for self-rule saying its association with the votaries of self-rule is quite misleading.
The BJP vice president and spokesperson Prof. Hari Om made this demand while reacting the assertion of the PDP patron and chief minister Mufti Mohd. Sayeed that he is going to rake up the self-rule issue in the united Nations General Assembly taking the Prime Minister and the UPA chairperson into confidence.
According to press release he said it is very strange that while the Jammu based Congress leaders, including ministers, member of parliament and members of the assembly, are denouncing the self-rule solution, the prime minister has on occasions more than once said that his government is prepared to consider the PDP’s demand for self-rule and the National Conference’s demand for greater autonomy. The people of the state in general and the people of Jammu and Ladakh and the internally-displaced and Kashmiri Hindus in particular.
Commenting on the NC demand for greater autonomy, Prof. Hari Om said that this demand, if accepted, would simply mean negation of the Indian Constitution and withdrawal of all the central laws in the state plus respectability to the politics of separatism based on religious considerations. He said the NC president Omar Abdullah’s view that the central laws are responsible for the alienation of the Kashmiri Muslims is misplaced and is based on the premises that the people of Kashmir are a race apart. He questioned the claim of the NC leaders that they represent the general will of the people of the state and asserted that a vast majority of the people in the state are for full integration with rest of the Indians.
Prof. Hari Om warned both the NC PDP to abandon their politics of separatism and work for a political system that meets the genuine political and economic aspirations of the people.
