JAMMU, Aug 20: Assailing the Government approach to tackle the situation in the trouble torn Kishtwar, former Union Minister and MLA, Prof. Chaman Lal Gupta alleged that instead of providing immediate relief to the badly affected lot due to communal frenzy, the ruling leaders were playing dirty politics.
Prof. Gupta pointed out that several days have passed after the loot and plunder in Kishtwar, no relief has been provided to the sufferers who have been virtually uprooted and lost their all the livings. So much so even the stock of the losses have not been taken and no effort seems to be there to recover the looted property, even the said weapons taken away from the Gun House and used for violence, he added and further said that to add to the problems of the sufferers a curfew has been imposed and little supplies of the rations and other eatables have been arranged.
He pointed out that even those officers /officials have not been removed from the scene who remained silent spectators when there was loot and anti national elements were indulging in resorting to arson and destruction. And the people have lost their confidence in such an administration.
Prof. Gupta expressed surprise over the deputing of some politicians to visit Kishtwar after a team of four senior Ministers visited there. What the team of Ministers have done there with what results, have not been made public, he added.
He said it was an irony of fate that on the one hand there was furry of the nature causing repeated earthquakes, on the other hand under a plan the anti national elements operating in various guises have created hell of the situation. Astonishingly no relief has been provided even to the badly affected families due to tremors even after many loud promises despite expiry of over two months now, he added.
Prof. Gupta also castigated the elements operating from within and outside the ruling parties demanding the disbanding of the VDC’s and dilute the force of SPO’s. This obnoxious move is apparently loaded with to shaken the confidence of the minorities who were on the target after forcing out the core nationalists from the Valley of Kashmir who have come to be virtually refugees within their own country.
