The Union government was criticized by National Conference and separatist camp for pursuing the agenda on Israel lines of making settlements and proposal of Sainik Colony was also criticized in this light. "The proposal was finalized by Rajya Sainik Board in April 2015 when state was under Governor rule and former Chief Minister was also learnt to have chaired the meetings of the Board, so why Union government was criticized and band was also observed for the follies of the state government and its organizations", an official said. He further added that state government itself made plans and to befool Kashmiri general masses raked up some emotional issues, which would increase their vote share.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
