JAMMU, Jan 27: Infuriated over the State Government for doling out premium to the anti-nationals and subversives in the Valley while disparaging the martyrs and nationalists, a strong contingent of Panther party activists spearheaded by Harsh Dev Singh its chairman staged a vociferous protest demonstration at Exhibition Ground, Jammu today. He accused the BJP of placating the secessionist forces for saving its alliance with PDP, torched its effigy and raised anti-Government and anti BJP slogans.
While addressing the media, Harsh Dev Singh said that it was a shot in the arm of subversives and anti- national elements when CM Mehbooba Mufti ordered the withdrawal of 744 cases of stone pelting against 4327 youth in Kashmir a couple of months ago with a further announcement to release 9000 odd stone pelters who have been involved in subversive and anti-national activities besides a ‘rehabilitation policy’ for the surrendered militants. Accusing the BJP partnered dispensation of showing the doors to the patriots while glorifying the anti-nationals, he divulged that incentives pertaining to financial support in the shape of FDs, monthly honorarium and job opportunities for the militants were also envisaged under the said obnoxious policy.
He further accused the BJP of bowing before the dictates of PDP which instead of taking punitive action against the anti- national elements preferred to toe the separatist agenda pursued by its ally.”Earlier, the announcement of Rs. 5 lakh ex-gratia relief in favour of next of the kin of Burhan Wani’s brother Khalid Muzaffar Wani who was an OWG of Hizbul Mujahideen outfit operative in Kashmir besides compensation and Government jobs to the NOKs of the deceased stone pelters including the injured had emboldened the felons and the fringe elements to go berserk over there.
It was the same BJP which in opposition sought sedition charges against stone pelters dubbing them as Pak agents and charging them of facilitating infiltration besides safe passage to militants. The credibility of the un-ethical alliance further, came under the scanner when it doled out back door Government appointment to Syed Ali Shah Geelani’s grandson Anees-ul-Islam out of the way as Research Officer in Sher-e-Kashmir International Convention Complex (SKICC) with an annual salary of 12 lakh by flouting all the recruitment rules. The same, Anees was earlier refused a passport by the State’s Regional Passport Office on adverse reports from the J&K CID in 2009″, Harsh added.
Deploring further, he recalled nasty order to pay compensation of Rs. 10 lakh to the ring leader of stone pelters, Farooq Dar who was responsible to cause unrest during the by-elections of Parliamentary seat in Srinagar.
