J&K Congress seeks resignation of HM, action against erring BJP leaders speaking against Armed forces

Jammu, May 29 (UNI) As Union Home Minister arrived here on two-day visit, Jammu and Kashmir Congress on Thursday raised serious questions over the security lapses at Pahalgam leading to serious terrorist attack on April 22, demanding his resignation and questioning the silence of BJP leadership, over the highly condemnable and insulting utterances of BJP leaders.
Addressing a press conference here, JKPCC Working President Raman Bhalla, Chief Spokesperson Ravinder Sharma and other senior leaders, questioned the silence of BJP leadership over the highly condemnable utterances of certain BJP leaders including Dy Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh Jagdish Devda and Minister Vijay Shah and now BJP MLA Udhampur and Spokesperson of BJP R S Pathania, who have insulted the armed forces.
“Why the top BJP leadership is totally silent over such utterances against the armed forces, they questioned, seeking stern action against all such leaders,” they said.
The senior Congress leaders raised serious questions over the security lapses at Baisaran (Pahalgam) and asked why there was no security at the site where 2000 tourists used to visit daily there.
The Home Ministry directly looks after the law and order and security matters of J&K UT, so the Home Minister should own the responsibility and resign from the post, besides other heads should roll down who are responsible for this failure, they questioned.
Raman Bhalla said that as per Foreign Affairs Minister, S. Jai Shankar own disclosure, Pakistan was intimated about the ‘Operation Sindoor” before start of the operation, when our armed forces were ready to go to for attacking the terrorist camps in Pakistan, which is very serious and criminal and a treason, with the nation.
“The government owes an explanation to the nation,” he stated.
The party also questioned how the DC and SSP were away from the district, when LOP Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi visited Poonch on May 24, whereas the entire administration remains on toes when the leader of opposition (LOP) in J&K Assembly belonging to BJP visits different districts and takes review of the situation what is this dual standard in democracy the Home Minister and LG should explain, they asked.
They charged BJP of hiding behind the success and bravery of our armed forces and trying to take political mileage out of ‘Operation Sindoor’, they said.
The party demanded that the affected people should be given adequate compensation for the loss of properties to be assessed by the revenue and engineering departments together, besides bunkers in entire border districts, including in townships for the safety of people along with scheme for 5 marlas plots in safer zones.
