‘Power privatisation, closure of PSUs not under UT admn domain’

Excelsior Correspondent

SRINAGAR, July 20: People’s Conference senior vice president and former minister Abdul Gani Vakil today said that amid the din of COVID pandemic, the UT administration is busy on daily basis eroding JKs administrative system and divesting all its historical and geographical identity almost on daily basis.
Planning to privatise power sector and recently orders issued closing down PSUs of erstwhile state are such decisions which should be left to popular Govt not the selected bunch of bureaucrats running the affairs in the state but it is unfortunate and astonishing that the present UT Govt is focusing more attention that too on priority in eroding JKs administrative system rather than to fight pandemic COVID-19 which had virtually made the people sleepless.
“There is no idea what this unelected Government is upto. These anti-people and anti JK moves are done by the non-elected Government far from the public glare, when people are gripped in pandemic,” Vakil added.
“The political leadership has been restricted to their houses and every day new orders and ammendments are made that have created a fear psychosis among people of Jammu and Kashmir. By privatising power sector, closing down PSUs what will happen to the people working in these departments. Not a single person has been employed by this Govt in the last one year. Instead of employment people are forced to unemployment,” Vakil said.
He cautioned the Govt not to issue such orders which are aimed to create a wedge between the people of JK and rest of the country. Such orders will only help our enemy who is bent upon to destabilise JK and is making every action which is aimed at distancing the people of J&K from the main stream. The people are already aghast at the Aug 5 decision, there seems a hidden agenda which is being carried out gradually, Vakil added.
The former Minister stressed upon the New Delhi to review it’s Kashmir policy otherwise, all these decisions will have long term consequences.
