EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, May 28:
BJP State Chief Spokesperson & National Executive Member Dr Jitendra Singh, while addressing a meeting of Shri Amarnath Yatri Nyas at Reasi, presented the background of the sequence of events that had led to the present controversy regarding the curtailment of holy yatra period and accused the State Governor, who is also chairman of Shri Amarnath Shrine Board (SASB), of having politicised the Yatra to appease the separatists and keep the State’s NC-Congress coalition in good humour. He alleged that the Governor has, inspite of repeated requests, refused to take Yatri Nyas leaders into confidence about the arrangements of the Yatra.Dr Jitendra Singh ridiculed the SASB theory about unsuitable weather on June 15 and said that there was no scientific device available in the world which could so minutely predict the weather change between June 15 and 29. He said that no state authority has the prerogative of altering the holy dates of Amarnath Yatra just as they can not do so in case of Eid or Ramzan. Sat Sharma, BJP State General Secretary who also attended the meeting, announced the names of the members of the Nyas coordination committee for Reasi. He declared full BJP support to Baba Yatri Nyas.He also gave a resume of Nyas programmes conducted in Udhampur and other places and the response had been very enthusiastic. Senior Nyas leader Parshotam, who convened the meeting, said that the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and other associated groups were determined to proceed for yatra from June 15 at any cost and no power on earth can stop them from doing so. Parshotam further announced that the yatra from Reasi will leave on June 16. He said the Nyas registration counters had already started functioning and travel arrangements were being finalised. Prominent leaders of Reasi present in the meeting included Kuldeep, Thakur Dass, Jaya Ram, Kabla Singh, Daya Prakash, Ashok, Vikas, Sheel Kumar, Varun, Ajaynanda, Naresh Kumar, Subash Vaid and Chaman Lal.
