JAMMU, Sept 1: Expressing serious concern over prevailing security scenario in Jammu and Kashmir, Panthers Party chief patron Prof Bhim Singh has demanded immediate dismissal of Omar Abdullah-led Coalition Government and imposition of Governor’s rule in the State.
“There is urgent need of change of this Government, which has become a security risk to the State. The Governor must intervene and dismiss this Government for restoring confidence of people,” he said while talking to media persons, here today, on conclusion of three-day `Communal Harmony Yatra’ from Jammu to Kishtwar.
Sharing feedback experienced during the Yatra, Mr Singh said that the Panthers team interacted with different walks of life who narrated horrifying tales of recent tragedies and violence that shook the conscience of every human being.
“Two political parties were solely responsible for the recent communal violence in Kishtwar where people had been living together with harmony and no bias against each other since decades,” he said while pointing towards National Conference and Bharatiya Janata Party as real culprits behind the recent riots.
Bhim Singh stressed that a judicial inquiry by a sitting judge of the High Court should be constituted to dig out truth regarding the Kishtwar riots. Besides, all the officials responsible for the death and destruction on August 9, 2013 in Kishtwar, should be brought to justice, he added.
Listing measures to restore traditional harmony and confidence among Kishtwar people, the Panthers leader said that a guideline should be laid by the Government to provide full security and defence to the weaker sections as well as to the minorities while all the 107 traders, shopkeepers and householders, whose properties have been destroyed in the violence, must be compensated adequately and immediately.
