| Fully supports eviction of influential people: Azad | | | Early Times Report
SRINAGAR, Feb 4: Amid growing uproar over the ongoing eviction drive, Democratic Azad Party (DAP) chief Ghulam Nabi Azad on Saturday said the party fully supports the eviction of the influential people.
Azad said there should be clear orders from Raj Bhawan saying that the poor and common masses won't be touched as there was more confusion among the administration over the ongoing drive.
Azad met Home Minister Shah in New Delhi on Wednesday where in he sought his intervention for not evicting the poor people in Jammu and Kashmir.
Addressing a party rally in Srinagar today, the former chief minister Azad said he fully supports the eviction of the influential people who have encroached on the "state" land.
“..But why is a common man and poor shopkeeper being harassed here. ....The Home Minister has assured me that those holding very small areas of land and small shopkeepers won't be touched. So our party will suspend the agitation for now in the wake of the promises made by the Home Minister and J&K LG that the common man won't be touched,” Azad said.
Azad claimed that not a single party protested on the ground over the land issue and just issued statements.
He said statements from the administration over the eviction drive were creating more confusion.
“... I had a word with J&K LG and I had requested that we are not for encroachment by influential and he had assured that poor people won't be touched.. but the situation is not that on the ground...," Azad said, adding that no government can have the policy to make people homeless.
The DAP chief said thousands of people in Mumbai and Delhi encroach on state land and during elections the political parties and government promise them regularisation.
"Lakhs of kanals of land in Delhi and Mumbai have been regularised by various governments be it Congress, BJP or any other party . .. If this is happening in other parts of the country, then why is J&K treated as a laboratory," he said.
Azad said there should be clear orders from Raj Bhawan saying that the poor and common masses won't be touched.
He said the ruling party will get adversely impacted with these kinds of orders
Azad said he does not understand why the present government is undoing their good work over the last three years.
"The situation has improved on ground and tourists are coming here but I don't understand why they are undoing their good initiatives with orders like these," Azad said. |
