JAMMU, Sept 10: Former Union Minister Prof Chaman Lal Gupta has asked politicians not to play politics over human blood and stressed for having some respect for moral values in public life.
In a hard hitting press statement here today, Prof Gupta recalled some of the secessionists who are chanting for Azadi to mislead young generation, where under oath of the Constitution they are still drawing benefits including pensions and even treatment abroad as being former legislators of the State, which is an irrevocable part of India.
Prof Gupta said Sayeed Ali Shah Geelani, leader of Separatist Hurriyat Conference was three terms member of State Legislative Assembly as such he has taken oath of the Constitution at least half a dozen times. He is availing all the facilities from the Govt.
The former Minister said that preaching of secession is a sedition but it becomes all the more heinous act against the oath. And above all, to glorify the cross border terrorism and patronize the violence leading to bloodshed, destruction and forced migration of lakhs of people from their homes and hearths in Kashmir valley is yet another serious crime. These helpless people have become refugees in their own country due to the acts of secessionists and their supporters.
Prof Gupta stressed upon all the mainstream political parties to play their positive role in restoring normalcy in the troubled Kashmir and guide the misled youth and others that they are not going to achieve anything by adopting the path of bloodshed and destruction. He said the real problem in Kashmir is the aggressive designs of the unscrupulous neighbour. Majority of the people want development, peace and prosperity.
