Jammu, Sept 26: Strongly denouncing the 8-point formula of Congress-led UPA Govt to break the ice of Kashmir Violence, the State BJP on Sunday alleged that it was totally Kashmir- centric and anti-Jammu, Ladakh.
Talking to media persons here at party headquarters, BJP State President Shamsher Singh Manhas, alongwith MLA Jugal Kishore Sharma, said, "Like earlier, Centre again bowed before the separatists and anti-national elements and continue its appeasing policy towards Kashmiri while ignoring Jammu and Ladakh"
"The recently announced 8-point formula is nothing but aimed at benefitting the Kashmir only and it has nothing for Ladakh and Jammu, which again speaks of the preferential treatment to Valley by the Union government", he alleged.
He added, "The Union government has attempted to befool the people of Jammu and Ladakh by announcing the constitution of Task Force for these two regions while the real benefits have been showered to valley".
"While entire package of the Centre is given to Kashmir, Jammu and Ladakh only gets lollipop as usual", he mocked, adding, "BJP will not accept this yet another instance of discrimination with these two neglected regions.
Manhas mentioned that BJP during its recent meet with the All Party Delegation categorically raised the issue of discrimination with Jammu and Ladakh but unfortunately Centre at the helm of the affairs again snubbed Jammu and Ladakh.
Condemning the Centre's decision to release the stone pelters and withdrawal of all cases against them, BJP State president questioned, "What message Centre and State want to give to the nation by according leniency to those who break the law".
Reminding 2008 Amarnath Land agitation, Manhas mentioned those who participated in land agitation are still facing cases for none of their crime.
Manhas also mentioned that Centre announced to provide ex-gratia relief to the families of the deceased persons at Rs 5 lakh per person killed in civil disturbances in Kashmir but what about those who died in 2008 Land agitation as they are all still ignored and denied adequate compensation. Moreover, he added transporters, traders, industrialists etc too have been ignored who suffered losses to the tune of crores of rupees during 63 days bandh of 2008 agitation.
Alleging complete surrender of Centre to Kashmiri leaders and State Govt, Manhas said, "Requesting State Govt to immediately convene a meeting of the Unified Command and to review the deployment of security forces and review the notification of areas as 'disturbed areas' is unfortunate and just to accede to the demands of separatists and what Chief Minister has been asking for repeatedly".
The BJP State Chief warned agitation against the total surrender of Centre and said that BJP will not allow Centre to bow before the separatists and anti-national elements.
He however appealed the nationalist forces of Jammu and Kashmir and pro-Jammu people to come on united platform and fight for what -Jammu deserves.
