| Make interlocutors' report public: Jitendra Singh | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
Jammu, May 14: On the eve of Dileep Padgaonkar- led Interlocutors' state visit beginning tomorrow, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) state chief spokesperson & national executive member Jitendra Singh has demanded that the Interlocutors' report be made public and left open to a wider debate before the Congress-led UPA government takes any decision about implementation of any of the recommendations made in it.
Jitendra Singh expressed serious objection to the reported contents including change of nomenclature to Sadr-e-Riyasat and Prime Minister in the final part of interlocutors' report ready for submission to Union Home Ministry and issued stern warning on behalf of the central and state leadership of BJP that the party will launch a mass movement across the country to expose this conspiracy and to oppose any such proposal which is Kashmir-centric or ignores the interests of Jammu and Ladakh or which tends to weaken the Jammu and Kashmir state’s relationship with the rest of India either physically or psychologically.
Jitendra Singh also alleged that the Interlocutors had followed a biased approach right from the beginning and their report failed in its avowed objective of projecting an objective view of every section of polity as well as civil society.
Substantiating his charge, he said that during each of their visits to the state, they had deliberately avoided establishing contact with the BJP leadership.
He said that during their very first visit to the state they did not seek meeting with BJP leadership while during their second trip, they visited the BJP headquarters at Jammu on 17 January and apologized for their inability for not having met during earlier visit but explained that this had happened due to a “goof-up” on the part of local administration. During the one and half hour meeting that followed, the BJP leadership placed before the Interlocutors the main issues of party concern which included “delimitation of assembly constituencies”, discrimination against Jammu and Ladakh, implementation of 73rd & 74th Amendments before holding Panchayat election, issue of displaced Kashmiri community as well as PoK and West Pakistan refugees, unemployment among youth etc.
According to Jitendra Singh, the head of Interlocutors team Dileep Padgaonkar told the BJP leaders that the Interlocutors needed time to further study these issues and promised that they would get back in next 20 to 25 days.
But, Singh alleged, the Interlocutors deliberately avoided any future contact with BJP in utter disregard of the courtesy to be shown to a national party.
Singh alleged that right from beginning the Interlocutors team had ignored the BJP view point and warned that BJP will launch a countrywide campaign and the entire nation will rise in one go if on the advice of Interlocutors, Govt. of India betrays a tendency to make further concessions to appease separatists or oblige the State’s ruling coalition partners.
“We look at ‘Autonomy’, ‘Self-Rule’, ‘Achievable Azadi’, ‘Azadi’ as part of the same secessionist spectrum,” said Jitendra Singh and added that the only Kashmir roadmap proposed by BJP is that of full and final integration of Jammu and Kashmir with the Union of India and will not accept anything less than this.
