Centre’s intervention on stone pelters shows erosion of State authority: Vakil

Excelsior Correspondent
SRINAGAR, Nov 23: President “Jammu Kashmir Bachao Tehreek” and former Minister Abdul Gani Vakil today said that Central Government directing State Government at the instance of Dineshwar Sharma, the new point man of Central Government on Kashmir dialogue, to release prisoners arrested during turmoil shows to what extent the power and authority of the State Government has been eroded.
Addressing a day long convention of district Srinagar, Vakil said during previous regimes, District SP’s used to release first time and even two time stone pelters but now Home Minister Rajnath Singh has directed Mehbooba Government to release first time stone pelters on the advice of Dineshwar Sharma and this shows Dineshwar Sharma wields more power and authority than elected Chief Minister of the State.
Hitting out at three time former Chief Minister and National Conference president Dr Farooq Abdullah for his party’s role in sabotaging the resolution of Kashmir issue from time to time during last seventy years, Vakil said Farooq Abdullah’s advice to the then Central Government to bombard Pakistan Administered Kashmir (PoK) and Pakistan when he was Chief Minister is unforgettable remark for the people of Jammu and Kashmir. He asked Farooq Abdullah to explain his position on enforcing all draconian laws including POTA and AFSPA.
Saying that dynasty rule founded by NC during last seventy years is worst than dictatorship, Vakil asked Farooq Abdullah to explain as to why he is not allowing anyone outside his family to hold the presidency of his party and emerge as Chief Ministerial candidate for the future and same is the case of PDP, which too has not allowed any other person to grow anymore and stop others from taking up the role of leaders.
Addressing the gathering, general secretary and Ex MLC Syed Rafiq Shah JKBT stressed upon the workers to be ready for any sacrifice to end dynastic rule and corruption in the State. “Dynastic rule and corruption is the root cause of all evils in the State as the leaders in power never addressed grievances of the people especially educated unemployed youth. Kashmiri young man is ready to go to join BSF, CRPF and other para military force to live life peacefully and comfortably,” Shah added.
