SRINAGAR: Senior BJP leader Devender Singh Rana Friday launched a scathing attack on ‘votaries of Indo-Pak talks’ and expressed his dismay over the idea of engaging Islamabad in a dialogue.
“The insensitive terror ecosystem should learn a lesson from the common man in Kashmir who took to the streets and joined the candle march to pay their tributes to valiant martyrs, who offered supreme sacrifice to maintain the prevailing momentum of normalcy in the Valley,” Rana said while interacting with deputations and individuals during the weekly public hearing at the BJP headquarters.
Stating that the center has, time and again, made its policy of terror and talks not going together very clear, Rana said, “Those trying to carve out an unsolicited role for themselves, for whatever reason, by jumping the line, should understand that India cannot engage itself with a country that sprouts terrorism. The anger against the recent attacks in Kokernag and Rajouri across the Valley, as elsewhere in the country, is a mute reminder to the rejected and frustrated political elite who seize such opportunities to play dirty politics in the mistaken belief of remaining relevant to politics.”
He said the idea of running politics over the graves and the miseries of common people has now become obsolete, and that the people are up in arms against the cult of violence and disruption. The people of Jammu and Kashmir are realising the dividends of peace now more than before, he added.
Devender Rana reiterated that militancy emanating from Pakistan is on its last breath on the Indian soil of Kashmir due to focussed operations and campaigns of the security forces, the police, and the people in particular, who have undergone a most traumatic phase during the past over three decades.
“A few people may try to condone or downplay the barbarism unleashed by militants in terms of death and devastation caused, and continuously being perpetrated, by the Pakistani lackeys but that doesn’t change the ugly face Pakistan and its ecosystem in Kashmir,” he said.
Rana said the Pakistan-sponsored terrorists cannot hold peace to ransom, as they are destined to doom and meet their designated fate. In the guns they keep brandishing lies to their ultimate end, he said.
