Jammu, Feb 24 (KNS): While expressing serious concern over the plight of people of Uri, who are immensely suffering due to the relentless cross-border shelling, Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress (JKPCC) Vice President and MLC G N Monga today said that both the Central and the State governments have failed to respond to the extraordinary situation on the borders in the state.
In a statement issued here, he said, both the governments have failed to protect the lives and the property of the border people as there is an extraordinary situation on the borders. While lashing out at both the governments for their failure to take measures to end ceasefire violations, Monga said, they are helplessly watching the deaths and devastation of the people and their properties.
“People of Jammu and Kashmir are paying heavy price for the failed policy of BJP government towards Pakistan and Kashmir. The shelling and firing on borders has become a routine affair but the Modi led BJP government has no roadmap or policy to deal with the situation,” he said.
Urging the Modi government to take urgent steps to prevent recurrence of such incidents, the Congress leader said rather than looking for opportunities to create war hysteria, the Prime Minister should, in national interest, engage with Pakistan to reduce the border tensions without further delay.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp Channel
Lauding the people of Uri for their resilience, he said the innocents were made to believe the falsehood spread by PJP-PDP as per their tactical strategy to rouse the emotions of the people. “The MLA Uri and Member Parliament (MP) Baramulla constituency are nowhere when people of Uri are braving the shells and bullets. This alliance government has failed to fulfil even a single commitment with the people and has brought only miseries for the common man,” he added.
The state Congress Vice President said the initiatives taken in Kashmir during the United Progressive Alliance’s 10-year rule have been reversed and washed away by the incumbent Government at the Center and the situation in the state has turned serious.
“It is unfortunate that this Government has totally failed to deal with the border situation and also tackle situation in Kashmir. The situation has further worsened in the Valley,” he added. (KNS)
