| Amit Shah must tender apology for betraying mandate of J&K people: Vikar Rasool | | Announce restoration of statehood to J&K, hold elections |  Jammu, October 04 (Scoop News)-Vikar Rasool Wani, President Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) has demanded that Home Minister Amit during his ongoing 3-day J&K visit must tender apology to the people of this Union Territory for having betrayed them.
Briefing media persons at Party Headquarters in Jammu, JKPCC Chief flanked by Raman Bhalla, Working President JKPCC said that Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) betrayed the people of J&K by scrapping Art 370 from the Constitution through unconstitutional means. He said that it is an irony of the people of erstwhile J&K State that BJP divided the state into two UTs. He said that in the history of India, not a single state has been converted into UT while the UTs have been conferred State status. He said that the Home Minister must apologize to the people of J&K, restore statehood and hold elections to Jammu and Kashmir Assembly at the earliest.
Recalling Amit Shah’s speech on August 5, 2019, on the floor of Parliament, he said “The Home Minister had termed the abrogation of Art 370 as new beginning in the Jammu and Kashmir saying that its abrogation would help in quick eradication of Terrorism. However, it is quite unfortunate that terrorism still continues across the UT so much so that today with Home Minister being in the J&K UT a Director General of Police (DG Prisons) namely H.K Lohia has been killed and soon we will come to know as to which terrorist organization owns the responsibility for this killing.” Wani stated that if DG level officer is not safe in J&K then how can the common people of J&K be safe.
Challenging the Govt’s claims of decimating terrorism, JKPCC Chief asserted that since August 5, 2019, as per Police Data about 350 terror incidents have been reported in J&K including the brutal target killings of Rahul Pandit, Rajni Bala, Constable Ali Mohammad Ganai and many others. Questioning the Home Minister he said, “Where is the peace that was promised to be brought back by the Home Minister by eradicating terrorism?” In fact all the promises made by the BJP Govt have turned out to be hoax today when DG rank officer has been killed in cold blooded murder with Union Home Minister being in the state.
Wani, while strongly condemning the murder of DG Prisons, said that Amit Shah should come up with explanation on the safety of security of J&K people. Asserting that BJP has failed on all fronts, he highlighted that peace seems to be nowhere visible, KPs continue craving for their rehabilitation, no safe and secure atmosphere has been provided to the minorities in Kashmir, and so on. He said that people of J&K seek answer from Amit Shah for these failures and betrayal.
JKPCC President, while highlighting that unemployment rate has reached 32.75 in J&K which is highest in the country, asked Amit Shah where are the industries which he had promised for J&K on the floor of Parliament.
Wani said that the then Congress government had provided employment to thousands of youth in various departments of J&K but the present regime is playing the future of such youths. He sought regularization of daily wagers, SPOs , Rehbar-e-Khel, Anganwari Workers among others who are on roads protesting for getting their genuine rights. He said that the Home Minister is in J&K and he should announce regularization of all the temporary and daily wager employees who are working in several government departments for the last more than 15 years. He also demanded special packages for apple and apricot industries, fruit and walnut growers, and shawl industries which are on the brink of closure.
Raman Bhalla, Working President JKPCC, said that the present government has miserably failed to do justice with the youth of Jammu and Kashmir. He said that the future of J&K youth are dark under the BJP government. Everyday there is new scam and the recruitment of government jobs are being cancelled by the J&K government without any thinking about the disastrous effects on the youth of the state.
The former minister emphasized that first and foremost the Govt must announce employment package for youth who have been the victim of recruitment scam in J&K. besides, the ruling government at the centre should also provide remaining package of Rs 25 lakh to refugees, who are facing the brunt of ill-conceived policies of the BJP led government at the Centre.
Expressing serious concern over the ongoing strike of PHE daily wagers, Raman Bhalla said that government showing deaf ears to the genuine demands of the PHE daily wagers who are working day and night to fulfill the water requirement of the people of the state. He asked the Home Minister to regularize all the PHE daily wagers so that this aggrieved section of employee would have a sigh of relief.
