JAMMU, July 15: Former Minister and MLA Basholi, Choudhary Lal Singh today pooh-poohed the claim of ex-Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti wherein she had said that if New Delhi breaks up her party, Kashmir situation would return to the 1990s.
“How can someone who isn’t convinced with your party would pick up gun and become a terrorist to save it from getting broken up? Stop these blackmailing tactics,” he said and added that policies and style of Mehbooba’s working has already caused irreparable damage to both the regions.
Choudhary Lal Singh added that to undo the damage caused to the social fabric by the communal and regionally biased mindset of ex-Chief Minister, CBI probe in the Rasana case should be ordered.
“You (Mehbooba) denied the 8-year old daughter of Dogras from Rasana CBI probe purely for political reasons. You tried to use Rasana case to revive your party and regain the lost political ground across Kashmir Valley. But you lost both goodwill of people of Jammu region and trust of your people in Kashmir region,” said Choudhary Lal Singh while addressing series of gatherings in Pucca Danga and Moti Bazaar areas of Jammu city, here today.
Maintaining that Jammu region would get its due share and no one will be able to repeat the kind of things that they did in the Rasana case, Lal Singh exhorted that the only requirement was unity and not get disturbed by the propaganda of the detractors.
Claiming that ordering CBI probe in the Rasana case would heal the wounds of the people of Jammu region to some extent, he said that there has already been too much delay in this regard.
Maintaining that Dogras have been historically secular and optimist in their approach, Choudhary Lal Singh said that people of Jammu need no lessons from those who have always played communal and Pakistani card to win elections in Kashmir Valley. “And I have no reservations when I say that it is Jammu which has kept secularism alive in the State whereas those who call themselves secular have always played communal politics,” he added and urged youngsters to use social media to correct the perception which some people still have about the Rasana case.
