BJP-PDP Govt held people to ransom by internet ban: NPP

Excelsior Correspondent

JAMMU, Sept 27: Lambasting the BJP-PDP coalition for its alleged failure to uphold the rule of law in the State, former Minister and chairman of NPP Harshdev Singh today said that the incumbent Government has lost all moral authority to continue in office.
In a press statement, Mr Singh said that the imposition of internet ban has been perceived as an unequivocal admission on the part of Coalition Govt that it is incapable of reining in the mischief mongers and offenders of law who had a free play during the course of the said ban. He deplored that while the offenders in Kashmir openly defied law, violated High Court orders on beef ban, unfurled Pakistani and ISIS flags, the BJP-PDP Govt remained content merely by blocking the internet services.
The NPP leader said rather than apprehending the culprits, BJP partnered Government chose to shut its eyes and blocked the communication channels so that the sacrilegious acts were concealed from the view of the people. He alleged that under the garb of misuse of internet by anti-nationals, this Govt misused its powers to cover up its own incompetence and failures to control violation of law and High Court orders.
Lampooning further the ruling alliance for the arbitrary and blanket ban on the internet services, NPP leader questioned the State Government as to who would compensate for the losses sustained by various sections of society on account of this decision. He alleged that business houses and media houses, banks and other commercial organizations in this era of digitalization have suffered immense losses worth hundreds of crores due to Govt’s unwarranted move.
