Early Times Report
JAMMU, Dec 24: Expressing dismay over the protest held in Srinagar outside the residence of J&K Chief Minister, Mr. Omar Abdullah by various parties including those of NC, PDP, AIP and others, the JKNPP(India) Chairman and Former Minister questioned as to why such protests were not held in 2023-24 against the then govt which had mindlessly enhanced reservation upto 70% with indecent haste. He said that while the new CM, who had assumed office hardly two months back and had also constituted a committee over the subject, was being targeted, the protagonists of the reservation augmentation were never questioned by any of the protesting groups or other organizations.
Maintaining that it was BJP govt at the centre and its proxy rule in J&K which announced to take reservation to 70%, Mr. Singh questioned as to why such protests were not held outside the residences of Modi and Amit Shah. He said that an insecure BJP which had lost its ground in J&K had contemplated resurrection through appeasement and hence did the greatest injustice to the deserving candidates by burying merit under debris of enhanced reservation. Bitten by the power bug, an insensitive BJP defied even the persistent rulings of SC on a 50% limit on reservation and forced its own will contravening even the fundamental principles of the constitution, asserted Singh.
And rather than insisting for a sound reservation policy leaving due place for merit, the BJP leaders piggybacked on centre's reservation policy to ride their journey to victory, added Singh. He said that intoxicated with power, the self-aggrandising BJP govt indulged in mis-adventurism without realising that its gory moves of heightened reservation could prove counterproductive in the long run. While unemployment had never been an issue for BJP govt, its appeasement policies and its shoot and scoot politics had caused immense damage to body politic of the erstwhile state.
Accusing the protesting parties of maliciously targeting the new govt with vicious mendacities, Mr Singh advised them to lodge such protests outside central BJP leadership and their agents in J&K if they were really sincere in their intentions.
He said that people were wise enough and no facade of deceptive posturing by any such leaders or political parties could beguile the people. He said that he would volunteer to join any such protest if held in New Delhi against those who conspired to defeat merit in J&K only for promotion of their political prospects in the troubled UT.
