Early Times Report

JAMMU, Sept 18: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) today said that it would expose Congress in ensuing assembly session for maintaining “criminal silence” over the parliament attack convict Afzal Guru clemency issue.

“I ask the Congress ministers to make their stand clear on the issue. Both coalition partners are hand in glove while supporting the clemency resolution moved by an independent MLA. The resolution is aimed at strengthening their vote bank in Kashmir,” BJP MLA from Jammu East Ashok Khajuria told reporters here.

Angered over rejection of his resolution on endorsement of Parliament’s 1994 unanimous resolution declaring Jammu and Kashmir an integral part of India, Khajuria minced no word to take on the ruling coalition partners, saying they “gently” supported the resolution on Afzal Guru.

“Congress ministers should make their stand clear so that people of the region should know their integrity with them as to support a militant’s clemency or not,” he said. “We will not allow the ruling coalition partners to succeed in their designs. We will adopt all means to stall proceedings of the House if clemency resolution comes for debate,” he warned.

The party’s state chief spokesperson Jitender Singh said, “The Speaker of the House turning down the resolution of Ashok Khajuria, already accepted by Central Government in February 1994, without any reason was self-explanatory of the fact that state government was bent on appeasing the separatist forces in the state while accepting Afzal Guru’s clemency debate”.

He alleged that it also reflected the “bankruptcy” of the state government which ignored the “national sentiment” of the people by nailing their aspirations and advocating the militants’ causes by asking clemency for Parliament attack convict.

Khajuria had moved a resolution in the Legislative Assembly on the pattern of the one already moved and accepted by the Parliament in 1994.
