Excelsior Correspondent
SRINAGAR, Feb 20: Describing the current situation in Jammu and elsewhere in the country in the wake of recent Pulwama attack as extremely disturbing, the J&K Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) has expressed grave concern over the intimidation of students and other citizens from the Valley putting up in different States.
He also said that BJP is brazenly trying to gain electoral mileage out of the unfortunate Pulwama incident.
In a statement Mir reiterated that Government of India has miserably failed to restore sense of security among the people, urging that more effective measures needed to be taken to ensure safety of people especially the students and businessmen living in other parts of the Valley.
The Centre Government has miserably failed to restore calm, rather the lack of interest in dispersing the crisis on it’s part has added problems to the already complex situation in Jammu and other parts of the country, for which BJP first then Centre Government is directly responsible, he said.
He lashed out at BJP for fishing in troubled waters, saying that it is the BJP RSS which is fanning the fire aiming to serve their dirty political ends, but at the same time, Mir felt confident that handful of troublemaking forces won’t be able to control the entire democratic system in the country, he warned of serious consequences in case they do not mend their ways.
Mir said the security of people should be of a paramount importance for the Centre and no one should have been allowed to intimidate the innocent people especially students who are studying in different parts of the country, emphasizing that stern action must be initiated against those vitiating peaceful atmospheres in the country to serve their vested interests.
He said many students from the State have almost completed their studies and were preparing for final examination, but the intimidation  is forcing them to leave their studies, which is a matter of grave concern. He urged upon both State and Centre Government to take  more effective measures to restore confidence among the students and businessmen from Valley.
