Early Times Report

JAMMU, May 29: Expressing his concern over the unparalleled scale of corruption in Jammu and Kashmir, which possibly surpasses corruption in any other state of the country, BJP senior leader & head of the BJP Parliamentarians' Study Group on Jammu and Kashmir Rajnath Singh has said that the "Special Status" conferred on this state by the Indian Constitution has, instead of ensuring the welfare of common masses, given impunity to the NC- Congress coalition government to indulge in massive corruption without accountability.
Rajnath Singh made this observation after giving a patient hearing to each of the delegations that came to meet him during the second day of the 3rd tour of BJP Parliamentarians' Study Group on Jammu and Kashmir at Batote on Tuesday.
Over two dozen deputations drawn from different sections of the society and different regions called on the Study Group.
Some important delegations that called on Rajnath Singh included deputation of VDCs, who demanded hike in their honorarium and regretted that the Dileep Padgao-nkar- led Interlocutors' report had failed to address their issues .
Most of the Muslim deputations from Banihal, Batote, Doda and Malhari-Marmat complained that there was gross discrimination by the government against the Muslims of Jammu, while the lion's share in the government jobs was taken away by Kashmiri Muslims because of the partisan approach of the coalition government. Significantly the delegation of Panches and Sarpanches, including both Hindus and Muslims, from the region demanded immediate implementation of the 73rd and 74th Amendments of the Indian Constitution to ensure full employment of the local bodies. Deputations of surrendered militants presented a list of the problems being faced by them.
Rajnath Singh assured that the problem of Jammu & Kashmir will be taken up by the party in the Parliament and other forums because the real state of affairs prevailing in Jammu and Kashmir was not known to the rest of the country and the government nominated interlocutors has not taken into considerations the common people, who were suffering because of corruption, discrimination and misgovernance.
