JKNPP criticizes HM for ignoring Jammu issues during visit to state | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, June 9: Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party (JKNPP) chairman Harshdev Singh today said that with Jammu centric issues once again failing to receive due and focussed attention of the Union Home Minister, the high profile visit of the central dignitary had failed to inspire the masses in Jammu. During the last few tours of the Union Home Minister prior to the present visit, several delegations of political and social organizations besides civil society had met him and submitted memorandums highlighting the pressing issues of Jammu region besides its perpetual neglect but they too remained unaddressed and un-responded even during the present visit. He was addressing a press conference in Jammu today. Having avoided the issue of allotment of five marla plots to border dwellers in consonance with the promises doled out earlier, the Union Home Minister had caused the greatest disappointment to the affected people, said Harsh. This was the main demand of the border dwellers who felt that alternate accommodation in safer zones alone could provide them with a sense of security which however was being declined despite earlier assurances, lamented Singh. He regretted that the major demand of the West Pak refugees for State subject rights was also declined by saying that they were Indian citizens and by merely announcing cash dole for them at par with POJK migrants. Likewise, the grave issue of Rohingyas was downplayed by saying that all states have been directed for identification of such illegal immigrants. With repeated announcements made for their deportation by the BJP during the last 3-4 years and committees of Ministers also having been constituted for the purpose, it was ironical that the Union Home Minister was still talking of their identification at the fag-end of the NDA rule with the BJP led govt already in its fifth and final year of governance. Regarding the raising of IRP battalions and construction of individual bunkers, Singh said that such announcements are being repeatedly made for the last few years but the delivery on the ground is conspicuously missing. Promises are meaningless until and unless they are translated into reality and the Union Home Minister needed to evolve a proper mechanism with periodic review of the progress achieved. And while the Jammu youth booked during Amarnath Ji land row continued to face prosecution and court trials, the anti national and subversive elements of the valley were being repeatedly pampered and given amnesty with criminal cases and PSAs being withdrawn against them on regular basis, regretted Singh. Gagan Pratap Singh State Secy JKNPP and Parshotam Singh Parihar State Secy Panther Trade Union were also present in the press conference. |
