PDP spokesman and MLC Naeem Akhter on Tuesday alleged that the government has resorted to delaying tactic by forming a committee on Kargil’s demand in the wake of the divisional status to Ladakh.
Akhter said that when the government decided to give divisional status to Ladakh they didn’t invite any stakeholder to seek their opinion. “And why would they now invite stakeholders to give justice to Kargil?” he asked.
Akhter was talking to media persons on the side lines of a function in Bandipora.
“These are just delaying tactics by the governor’s administration. Governor Malik didn’t bother to invite people from Ladakh or even from the valley for a discussion on divisional status to Ladakh. Forming a committee to give justice to Kargil is sort of a delaying tactic and nothing else,” he said.
Akhtar said that providing divisional status to Ladakh would have been the agenda of BJP and now that people of Kargil are demanding justice the governor says they have formed a committee of secretaries.
“The committee of secretaries doesn’t have a laboratory where they can find a solution. The only solution for this is to make the divisional office rotational like it is for Jammu and Kashmir regions. The government should take a cue from history and resolve this dispute and provide justice to the people of Kargil,” he said.
