Early Times Report
JAMMU, Au 6: The critics of the March 1, 2015 PDP-BJP Agenda of Alliance had consistently rebuffed BJP national general secretary and one of the chief draftsmen of the Agenda of Alliance and asserted again and again claimed that it had two components – political and developmental. The claim of Ram Madhav and other top BJP leaders all along was that the Agenda of Alliance had more to do with development of the state than politics. “The Agenda of Alliance is a developmental agenda” was the refrain of Madhav and his ilk. On the contrary, its critics had repeatedly dismissed the Agenda of Alliance as an agenda of subversion and capitulation and new charter of bondage as far as the people of Jammu, Ladakh, refugees from Pakistan and internally-displaced Kashmiri Hindus were concerned.
On Thursday, the Group of Ministers (GoM) which was set up by the State Government long back for “speedy implementation of Agenda of Alliance”, acknowledged that it had two components – political and administrative. In fact, the GOM bifurcated the Agenda of Alliance into two parts – political and administrative – and asked the Chief Secretary to the J&K Government to prepare an action taken report regarding the implementation of the Agenda and submit the same in this month itself.
It was made clear to one and all by the GOM, who met in Srinagar under the chairmanship of Deputy Chief Minister Nirmal Singh to discuss the implementation of the Agenda of Alliance, that while the administrative part will be taken care by the state government, the political part of the Agenda will be taken up by the concerned ministers in J&K with the concerned ministers at the centre.
“The ‘Agenda’ to be implemented by the State Government would be taken up within the State with concerned Ministers, Chief Minister and the Cabinet while the `Agenda’, which has to be cleared by the Centre, will be taken up with the concerned Ministers by the GoM,” a report quoting official sources said.
Political part of the Agenda of Alliance includes issues like special status of the state, dialogue with Pakistan and Hurriyat, demilitarization, AFSPA, vacation of land being used by the army for security-related issues, transfer of NHPC-run and controlled power projects to the state government, resolution of the Kashmir as per the Vajpayee’s “Insaniyat, Jamhooriyat and Insaniyat” doctrine.
