Accusing the Jammu and Kashmir administration of creating homelessness, Peoples Conference President Sajad Gani Lone on Monday said that “New Delhi shouldn’t be represented by bulldozers in Kashmir, but by love and compassion.”
Addressing a news conference Lone said the objective of the ongoing eviction drive seems humiliation of Kashmiris.
“What is the objective of the government? Do they want to retrieve land or humiliate people? I think humiliation is more important for them,” he said.
Lone said that the current administration in J-K is not an elected regime and should leave bigger decisions for an elected government.
“(President’s Rule) It is a temporary arrangement. They cannot take decisions on behalf of the people of J-K. They cannot take all decisions. They are not elected by the people,” Lone told reporters here.
“These tourist bureaucrats are wreaking havoc here… There is a cabal of officers who are doing this…chief Secy and others should come out of the arrogance,” said Lone adding that, we will talk to our people we were thinking of sitting on a hunger strike in New Delhi. I have never felt this helpless.
Lone said that the J-K administration is inventing homelessness by razing down homes of poor people. “They are not giving any notice. The law of the land cannot be violated,” he said, adding that only poor are suffering due to the ongoing eviction drive in J-K.
“I want to ask my Prime Minister who is the Prime Minister of poor people whose houses are demolished. Where will poor people go?” he asked.
“We also have a list of big land holders and they haven’t been served any notice yet. When all this will end we will release that list and they are all influential,” Lone alleged.
The PC president said that there was one IAS officer here who was recently questioned for 8 hours in Delhi, one day they all will be questioned by the grace of Almighty. “The administration in J&K is like Amitabh Bacchan of bollywood movie Deewar. They believe that whatever they say is the law,” Sajad added. (KDC)
