JAMMU, Dec 14: Making a scathing attack on coalition Government in the State and accusing it of putting premium on terrorism and emboldening the terrorists and anti national elements responsible for present unrest, former Minister and MLA Udhampur Assembly Segment, Pawan Gupta today demanded dismissal of the PDP-BJP Government and imposition of Governor’s rule.
“This is high time for imposition of Governor’s rule in the State otherwise the situation will deteriorate further”, Gupta told reporters here, today.
He said right from removal of Army, bunkers, transfer of land under Army in Srinagar and Anantnag
to the State, releasing militants and paying compensation to slain family members of terrorists is being done with the intension to support the forces linked with terrorism. As the BJP which is the alliance partner in the Government has no guts to check the same hence the coalition has no right to remain in office, he added.
Terming the present Government worst ever, Gupta said amnesty was granted to Sales Tax evaders which has no justification. This Government has lost confidence of people both in Kashmir valley as well as Jammu region, he added.
He said mishandling of NIT situation and thrashing and humiliating of patriotic students, allowing displaying of ISIS and Pakistani flags, permitting anti national forces to hold seminars, disallowing the Abhinav Gupt yatra, imposition of unconstitutional Jazia i.e tax on helicopter service used by pilgrims, introduction of draconian and obnoxious Land Amendment Bill, enmass release of stone pelters, failure to establish Sainik and KP colonies in Valley and mishandling of Kashmir situation after the killing of Burhan Wani all reveals the incompetence of BJP ministers in the coalition.
Turning tables on BJP and blaming it of total surrender before PDP and divorcing its principles, Gupta said had our elders gone to jail and struggled throughout their life for the same. “The people who were the founding members of Praja Parishad which later into Jana Singh and then rechristened as BJP remained in solitary confinement for over six months in Central jail but they did not compromise and surrender before the then Government only to maintain the pride of Jammu people”. But the present BJP leadership has done quite contrary to that, he added.
He said if Jammu continues to be deprived of its rights and share, then there is no alternative to the people to launch a movement for separate statehood to the region.
He said that Party is run by ideology (Vichar Dhara) and not by an individual but the State BJP has said good by to its ideology just for sake of power. The Party disdained and disrespected the sentiments of the people of the State especially the nationalist people of Jammu as it has not only played as puppet but also as the B team of PDP, he added.
While expressing his surprise over grant of ex-gratia to dreaded militant Burhan Wani’s kin, Gupta said he has gone for record to say that he will send his daughter to join terrorist group.
Gupta said that Congress, NC and PDP had already betrayed the people of Jammu while BJP too has chosen the same path after divorcing its ideology as it is subservient to PDP.
