State Congress defends anti poor-decisions | In For More Trouble | | RUSTAM JAMMU, Sep 23: It was hoped that the Jammu & Kashmir Congress would follow the Kerala model, oppose FDI and announce some concessions to help the people of the State to two times simple meal. (Congress Chief Minister in Kerala has openly opposed the decision on FDI in multi-brand retail trade, saying it has the potential of harming the trading community and small and margin farmers.) What the Jammu & Kashmir Congress, which is under the total control of the Congress high command (in this case Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi), has disappointed the people of the State. The State Congress yesterday - much to chagrin of people -- extended unflinching support to the three recent decisions - hike in diesel price, restriction of subsidized LPG cylinder and FDI -- taken by the Prime Minister, in consultation with Sonia Gandhi, who, it seems, has little or scant concern for the very serious problems the people across the country have been facing at the hands of the Congress-led Union Government for quite sometime now. The Congress-led Union Government appears all out to create a situation similar to the one India witnessed in 1600 A.D, when the British East India Company started looting India to enrich the British economy. It, and later on the British Government, which directly ruled India from 1858 to August 1947, drained the Indian wealth on an unprecedented scale, besides destroying the Indian economy and small scale and cottage industries. The decision of the Union Government on FDI in multi-brand trade could not be interpreted differently. The BJP and other political formations opposing the FDI decision have rightly accused the Congress and the Congress-led union government of "unleashing economic and financial aggression on India to please US President Barrack Hussain Obama", who is again seeking election to the country's top position. It is rightly said that the State Congress leadership has no say whatever either in the Governance of the state or in the Congress organization at the Centre and that its only duty is to support whatever the NC and the Congress high command, plus the Prime Minister, do and say. It speaks the language of those seeking autonomy, self-rule, demilitarization and revocation of the AFSPA. It speaks on the need to placate Pakistan. In fact, it, like the Kashmir-based outfits, extremist or otherwise, speak on bilateral relations between India and Pakistan knowing it fully well that it is for the Indian Foreign Office to deal with Pakistan and resolve the issues between the two countries. It does so to muddy waters in Kashmir with a view to pleasing those who consider Jammu & Kashmir an unsettled issue. What the State Congress said yesterday was one more proof that it is not for the people but for those in New Delhi who are riding roughshod over the nation, systematically undermining the Constitutional institutions, including the Comptroller and Auditor-General, Election Commission and Supreme Court, and seeking to gag media, including social media. It has lost touch with the people; it doesn't feel the people's pulse; it has, in fact, developed the habit of taunting the people. Its political conduct has angered the people to a considerable extent and there are potent reasons to believe that the estranged people would teach it a lesson the moment they got an opportunity. The fact of the matter is that the state Congress is in for more troubles. It has to pay a very heavy price for its unpopularity. |
