ASHAR (BANIHAL), June 12: Saying the people of Jammu and Kashmir have a right to know the genesis of devastating 2008 Amarnath land row agitation, National Conference provincial president Devender Singh Rana on Wednesday hit at People’s Democratic Party for its evasiveness over the core issue in order to hoodwink the public opinion and to wrap under cover the sinister conspiracy hatched with communal BJP during most testing times in last decade.
Addressing a workers’ meeting at Ashar this evening, Mr Rana warned PDP to get prepared for a public trial for the omissions and commissions they carried out to plunge the State into political uncertainty with a sinister plan of dividing it on communal and regional lines.
The NC Provincial president alleged that the PDP leaders met with BJP leaders in New Delhi to work out the anti-people plan and conspired to grab power disregarding the welfare of the people of the State. “Isn’t it a fact that PDP wanted to dislodge Ghulam Nabi Azad Government to take political revenge of ouster of Mufti Sayeed in 2005”, he said adding that the broader objective was to fall in line with communal elements to trifurcate Jammu and Kashmir on regional lines.
He said that PDP worked out the contours of conspiracy in the meeting organized by a Jammu based BJP leader in Delhi. “They succeeded in plunging the State into disaster and polarizing the situation temporarily but ultimately they had to take a humble pie when people of both the regions saw through their nefarious game-plan”, he maintained.
Mr Rana said that the communal and regional politics has no place in a diverse State like Jammu and Kashmir and cautioned the people to remain vigilant against peace inimical elements who can create 2008 like situation for furthering their political designs.
Urging the people to strengthen National Conference for achieving the cherished objective of peace and holistic development of the three regions and their sub regions, Mr Rana said a significant headway has been registered in this regard during the past four and half years in different sectors.
He spelled out in detail the achievements registered in different sectors and said that the efforts of the Chief Minister have fructified in the empowerment of the people in decision making with the Panchayati Raj becoming a reality, which stand guarantee for safeguarding their interests.
Those who addressed the meeting included Sajjad Shaheen, Sheikh Bashir Ahmad,
Babu Rampal, Dr Chaman Lal Bhagat, Th Kashmir Singh, Brij Mohan Sharma, Gurdeep Singh Sassan, Surinder Singh Bunty and others.
