| BJP ministers maintain golden silence | | Relief for Burhan's family | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Dec 17: Officially the BJP ministers have maintained a silence on decision of the state government to sanction compensation to the family of Burhan Wani, they have given their consent to take this controversial step.
Credible sources in the corridors of power said that BJP ministers were taken into confidence by the authorities before issuing a notice to grant compensation to Burhan Wani's family. BJP ministers could not dare to oppose this decision of the state government so neither they oppose nor they support. "Maintaining silence on proposal of the state government to sanction relief for Burhan Wani's family is a type of consent so authorities proceed the case and issue notification to sanction compensation", sources said and revealed that it was the reason that BJP ministers are now finding it difficult to oppose the decision.
Sources said that all BJP ministers were aware that the government was going to announce compensation for Burhan Wani's family but they could not get guts to oppose it.
Meanwhile Deputy Chief Minister Nirmal Singh today said the government action on the killing of Hizbul commander Burhan Wani's brother will proceed "as per the outcome" of the probe into his death and an FIR has been registered in this connection.
His comments came amid protests by several organisations over the PDP-BJP coalition government's decision to compensate the family of Khalid Wani, who was killed in an "encounter" with the Army in Pulwama district on April 13 last year.
Singh said an FIR has been lodged and "whatever be the outcome of the probe, government will act accordingly".
"There is a law of the land applicable to it. Whatever be the outcome of the investigation, action would be taken as per that," Singh told reporters at a function in Jammu.
"If it is proved that he was a terrorist as the FIR has been lodged, action would be taken as per that," he said replying to a question on giving compensation to Khalid's family.
Khalid's brother Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani was killed by security forces onJuly 8, and his death had led to months-long protest in the Valley in which 86 people died. |
