Congress questions BJP over August 5 decision
8/5/2021 11:36:40 PM

Early Times Report

Jammu, Aug 5: Questioning BJP and Centre Government as to what has changed to the betterment of people of J&K and nation, two years after August 5, 2019 decision, J&K Pradesh Congress has said that the promise of 50,000 Govt. jobs in three months and opening private sector for job, was a big bluff & joke with the educated youth of J&K.
Addressing a Press Conference at PCC HQ here today, JKPCC Chief Spokesperson Ravinder Sharma along with Former Minister & Vice President Raman Bhalla, General Secretary PCC Th. Balwan Singh(Ex-MLA), Shri Yogesh Sawhney (Ex-Minister) and Th. Manmohan Singh, questioned what has changed for the benefit & betterment of people of Jammu and Kashmir, as J&K has lost its identity, rights and protections available to its residents which are available in various other states in the country too, in one or other form.
Referring to the claims of BJP, the Congress leaders questioned whether the backbone of militancy has been broken, number the jobs in Govt. & private sector have increased, big industrial houses have come to J&K, the situation has normalized, KPs can safely return, the gap between hearts and distance from Kashmir and Delhi (Dil ki aur Dilon Ki Doori) has been reduced and what else has been achieved, after two years of the decision, they questioned.
They said that the militant activities and their numbers continues to be rising and terrorism expending its tentacles to Jammu region too. The dying militancy in 2014 again gained strength with sharp rise in numbers during BJP-PDP regime and same could not be eliminated so far.
The 50, 000 jobs in Govt. sector in three months, announced in Aug. 2019 was a great bluff and joke with educated unemployed youth, while no private sector jobs were created in Jammu and Kashmir in two years.
Where are claims of the floodgates of private investments and creation of large scale jobs in private sector, as nothing of this sort has been witnessed. The local traders, contractors, businessmen and transporters are loosing business opportunities to outside residents, especially in Jammu region, so who has been benefitted by this decision, Congress questioned, while strongly criticizing the disbanding and downgrading of historical state into UT.
The refusal to restore statehood, so far itself indicates that things have not normalized to the extent prior top 5th August, 2019 to restore state, which proves hollowness of the rhetoric’s and claims of BJP & Centre Govt. on the ground. All claims and adjectives used to disband and downgrade the historical state into UTs, have proved to be a failed experiment and people yearn for statehood with protections for land and jobs to the residents. The Congress party shall struggle for securing these aspirations of the people and would continue to observe it a day of struggle (Yaddoyad Day) till achieving the statehood and other rights, claimed by the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
