JAMMU Aug 31: Provincial President National Conference Devender Singh Rana on Saturday assailed Bharatiya Janata Party President Rajnath Singh for vitiating peace in Jammu and Kashmir, saying his provocative posturing reflects the frustration and discomfort over normalcy returning in Kishtwar.
“It appears that BJP has not reconciled with peace dawning in Kishtwar and people of the area reposing their faith in the age old amity and brotherhood”, Mr Rana said in a statement while responding to the utterances of Rajnath Singh at his party convention.
The Provincial President said the apple cart of BJP turned turtle when All Party Delegation sent by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah succeeded in bringing the two communities together. “BJP delegates could not conceal their frustration and left the proceedings midway in an unsuccessful attempt to sabotage the peace efforts”, he added.
Rana said that BJP has developed vested interest in flaring up communal passions to derive cheap political mileage. “If they think that Gujarat type communal violence and polarization between people belonging to various faiths will bring them political fortunes in other parts, particularly in Jammu and Kashmir, they are day dreaming”, he said.
Referring to the remarks of Rajnath Singh over governance in Jammu and Kashmir, Rana said that the Chief Minister does not require certificate from those who created chaos during their brief stint in New Delhi. The people are best judges of performance of the government and the entire nation knows how Omar Abdullah brought out the State from morass created by communal and divisive elements.
Mr Rana ridiculed BJP for shedding crocodile tears for a section of the people in Kishtwar and said this depicts their myopic vision and biased approach towards other communities.
