KISHTWAR, Aug 27:  BJP is committed to protect the interest of minority community in Kishtwar both in terms of the safety of their life as well as the business establishments.
This was stated by Dr Jitendra Singh, Party’s chief spokesperson of the State and its National Executive Member while talking to reporters here today along with senior Party leaders including Chander Prakash Ganga, Satish Sharma,  Manish Sharma and Sunil Sharma.
He said there will be no compromise on this at any cost and added nobody dare take the minority community for granted.
Dr. Jitendra Singh said that even after an assurance from the Government, no initiative had been taken so far for assessment of the individual losses suffered by the business establishments during riots. He also pointed out that no action had so far been taken against the police officers evidently involved in encouraging the violence on August 9, nor any transfers ordered so far.
Dr. Jitendra Singh said that under the garb of August 9 happenings, a veiled attempt was being made to weaken or disband the VDCs but this conspiracy will not be allowed to succeed. He said the VDCs were a creation of Congress Government, at the Center and National Conference Government in the State during late 1990s had been the greatest beneficiary of the VDCs’ anti-insurgency operations but now simply as a part of the Kashmir centric appeasement policy, the N C-Congress coalition was trying to do politics in the name of VDCs.
Chander Prakash Ganga demanded a judicial probe by a judge from outside the State while Satish Sharma asked for a CBI inquiry into the incident.
Manish Sharma, who is also party’s ‘Prabhari’ for Kishtwar assured the party workers that he will continue to do a regular follow up of the decision taken by the delegation.
Earlier, the delegation visited the house of Arvind Raj Bhagat, BSP activist who was killed during the riots and also the house of octagenarian social activist Chander Prakash Gupta whose Amar Market was gutted during the riots.
