SRINAGAR, Apr 9: Peoples Democratic Party today slammed the Central Government’s policies aimed to subjugate the already perturbed people of Kashmir and said that such measures have proven counter productive, making the situation more chaotic and appalling.
Addressing large number of people in Chowdhri Gund Charar-i-Sharief, PDP general secretary Ghulam Nabi Lone Hanjura said there are rigorous attempts being made by the BJP to worsen the situation in the State so that it could garner maximum votes.
“It is unfortunate that Kashmir is used as a punching bag by the BJP and its people are everyday tortured, humiliated and harassed so that BJP could tell its voters how much tough it is against the people of Kashmir,” Hanjura said.
Terming the highway ban part of a larger conspiracy against the people of Kashmir, Hanjura said that the measure has been taken to send a message to all people that they are being controlled directly by New Delhi and their civilian rights and entitlements matter least for the Government.
Hanjura said that PDP will remain in the forefront to oppose any move aimed at harassing, suppressing and targeting the people of State and that the policies being adopted by the Central leadership towards Jammu and Kashmir are turning it into theatre of war.
“It seems that Government of India is now completely depending on force as a measure to subjugate the people of State. However, it has to understand that no muscular policy will work as it has never worked in the past and it will never work in future also,” said Hanjura.
He said PDP led Government also ensured peace building measures on priority like Ramzan ceasefire, withdrawal of 12 thousand FIRs and safeguard of Article 35-A in the Supreme Court.
Other PDP leaders MLC Mohammad Khurshid Alam, Muntazir Mohi-ud- Din, Agha Syed Mohsin, Nazir Yatoo, Abdul Hameed Kosheen and Mohammad Yaseen Bhat were also present.
