Kashmir wants peace, not return to stone pelting-bandh era: Rana
5/4/2024 10:46:03 PM
Early Times Report
JAMMU, May 4: Describing the ongoing elections as an opportunity to demonstrate preference for peace and transformation through their power of vote, Senior BJP leader Devender Singh Rana today said the people of Kashmir would make their voice louder against any machination to push the Valley back to era of stone-pelting and bandhs, promoted by political actors for vested interest.
"Politically sagacious people of the Valley are within their rights to ask the exploitative leaders why they failed in bringing end to the nightmarish culture of stone-pelting and bandh during their respective tenures that is a glaring reality of the past over four years now", Rana said during interactions with deputations and delegations, including Dogra Grameen Brahmin Sabha in presence of Sham Lal Sharma former Minister and Vice President BJP besides deputations of Ex-Servicemen, Pensioners, Senior Citizens, Teli Biradri and among other deputations from Panchayat Doomi-Malpur, Panchayat Marh, Setni Bypass, Panchayat Khanpur and Panchayat Showa.
He said the people are wise enough to judge as to who promoted regular acts of stone-pelting that did not only cripple the economic activity and academics but resulted in the killing and maiming of hundreds of innocent young people. The people also understand now that the boiling Kashmir was their political investment to rehabilitate the corridors of power. On the one hand they played with the sensibilities of the people and on the other they kept bullying New Delhi for furthering their agendas to remain glued to power, he added.
"In the changed scenario, however, as per the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the people of Jammu and Kashmir in general and the Valley in particular are now forcefully voicing their resolute stance in favor of peace, shunning the tumultuous era of stone pelting and bandhs besides giving a big chance to stability and progress. Embracing a collective aspiration for tranquility, Kashmir's determination for strengthening harmony, prosperity and inclusive development is unwavering, he added.
He exuded confidence that the people won't anymore support the perpetrators of violence, who brought much stress and strain to them than those brandishing guns to create terror. In fact, the political actors provided a shield to stone pelters, he said, adding that seeing peace making all the difference, these self-styled representatives of Kashmiris are dumb struck as their fake narratives stand exposed. While understanding the changing mood, these rejected politicians are not giving up the character of wolves, which lose teeth but not their nature. The politicians of deceit and deception have played their innings cunningly for over four decades to have the best of both the worlds, he added.
Devender Rana said the people have started reading between the lines and relishing the dividends of peace in terms of educational institutions functioning on a regular basis, economic activity gaining momentum and tourism scaling record heights across the Valley and in parts of Jammu . Seen is believing, he said while referring to unprecedented enthusiasm among the people in Kashmir, who have opened up their arms for the tourists by switching over to stay-home culture due to hundred percent occupancy in hotels and lodges.
Devender Rana also referred to the mega efforts being taken to ensure political empowerment of all sections of society, especially the marginalized and neglected segments, as per the cherished agenda of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Prayas, Sabka Vishwas,.
Rana said the time has now come for the people of Kashmir to put their seal on peace agenda by rejecting the perpetrators of violence and disruption.
