| We will launch an agitation if not empowered fully: Mir | | Panchayats up in arms against government | |
EARLY TIMES REPORT
RAJOURI, Feb 7: Expressing their resentment and anguish over the attitude of state government in empowering Panchayats, large number of Sarpanches of twin border districts of Poonch and Rajouri have threatened an agitation against the government if they were not empowered at par with other states of the country like Himachal Pardesh and Rajasthan.
Demanding the implementation of 73rd amendment of Indian constitution in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, Sarpanches said that they don't want such a public friendly act be made hostage of article 370.
This they revealed in press conference organized at border district Rajouri on Tuesday.
Accompanied by large number of Panches and Sarpanches, Shafiq Mir Sarpanch Poshaana of border district Poonch said that they (Panches and Sarpanches) were formulating a strategy to launch an agitation against what he called the callous attitude of state government towards basic democratic institutions. Shafiq Mir said that the present unrest in the state government is the result of the denial of democratic rights of the people in the state of Jammu and Kashmir.
Reminding the cause of the present unrest, Mir said that in the similar fashion in 1987 when the democratic rights of the people were crushed by the same coalition government, the people came on streets with guns and demanded the things out of constitution.
"We the Panchayat members were not demanding some thing like moon.
We are demanding only the implementation of Indian constitution in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. But unfortunately, we are being denied this right too", said Mir adding that its implications may prove dangerous for the state. "If you have not given democratic rights of the people no body in the state will ever take part in any such democratic activity", he said. |
