JAMMU, Dec 12: Pointing towards the statement made by Union MoS Home Kishan Reddy in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday that there was no proposal for enacting Domicile Law for protecting lands and jobs of J&K UT, NPP leader Harsh Dev Singh today said that it has once again exposed the lies and deceptive politics of local BJP.
NPP leader said that while State unit of BJP had been making tall claims of Central Govt proposing a Domicile Law to allay apprehensions of J&K people losing their lands and jobs to outsiders post Article 370 abrogation, but the reply made by the Union Minister during question hour in Parliament on Dec 11 has spilled the beans thereby falsifying its claims. The reply had further stated that the Parliament had only extended the Central laws to the UT of J&K through the Reorganization Act and the amendments with regard to land laws, jobs etc. did not figure anywhere in the itinerary of the Union Govt.
Singh said that the Union Minister’s clarification was an eye-opener for the gullible masses of J&K who were invariably made to believe the false rhetoric of State BJP leaders. Calling upon the people of J&K particularly the youth to join hands to safeguard their unique culture, history, jobs and lands, Singh said that NPP would launch a vigorous campaign for protecting such distinctive rights of its people.
He said that the people surely stood for complete integration of the State with Indian Union but at the same time wanted social security in terms of protection of the interests of educated youth besides safety of their lands form being usurped by unscrupulous outsiders which, he regretted, had failed to fund a favour with the govt. He said that there were widespread apprehensions of un-influential and poor people being divested of their lands by Govt as well as by powerful land mafia from outside the State.
Harsh Dev said that NPP would vociferously agitate the concerns of the educated youth and fight for safeguarding their interests in the new set up.
