REASI, July 26: Former Minister and senior Congress leader Jugal Kishore Sharma (MLC) today said that Central and State Governments have failed to provide protection to Shri Amarnath Yatris and control situation in Kashmir valley.
Addressing large gathering here today, the Congress MLC expressed strong resentment over the prevailing situation in Kashmir due to mishandling of the situation by the State and Central Govts and the Pakistan’s direct and open interference to fuel further trouble besides failure of the Govt to ensure fool proof security and adequate arrangements for Shri Amarnath Yatris.
Jugal Kishore criticized the Centre and State Govts holding them responsible for the present situation and accused the Govt of failure to provide fool proof security to the pilgrims, who had to face lot of hardships at various places en-route and were subjected to attacks and harassment by miscreants during these periods in the absence of proper security and managements.
He also blamed the Centre and State Govts for ignoring the warning signals during the past some time regarding the deteriorating situation in the Valley which has come out open after the killing of Hizb commander Burhan Wani by the security forces as there were increased attacks on forces and raising of Pakistan and ISIS flags.
The Congress leader lashed out at the PDP-BJP for its failure to deal with the situation during its rule in the State as a result the militancy has gained further grip and situation deteriorated during their rule.
“The BJP stand exposed for its total failure on all fronts and the Pakistan role in the recent periods is also highly condemnable, which also questions policies of the Modi Govt vis-à-vis Pakistan and Kashmir. BJP was silent spectator to the deteriorating security situation in the Valley as a result there is reverse trend in the peace and normalcy,” Jugal added.
