Senior BJP leader and former Deputy Chief Minister Kavinder Gupta on Sunday asserted that declaring the Roshni Scheme null and void, and subsequently initiating time bound process for retrieving encroached land from illegal beneficiaries is BJP-led government’s ‘surgical strike’ against the corrupt of J&K who usurped priceless chunks of State Land at dirt-cheap rates.
Calling the whole gamut involving transfer of ownership rights of State Land to encroachers at throwaway prices under the ‘unconstitutional’ Roshni Scheme as part of bigger conspiracy to carry out ‘Land Jihad’ in J&K, senior BJP leader and former Deputy Chief Minister Kavinder Gupta alleged that this was systematically being executed in erstwhile State of J&K to change the demography which became apparent after thorough audit of the ‘visible changes’ were conducted by some activists and the party workers.
The BJP stalwart accused NC, PDP and Congress leadership of inducing ‘slow poison’ of demographic change through the aforesaid ‘unethical’ Roshni Act for creating communal imbalance in regions of Jammu Province to satiate its vested interest. He said that BJP will fight tooth and nail to fail the nefarious design of NC for carrying out Land Jihad in J&K. He alleged that through such shabby scheme the State Land was opened for unabashed encroachment and all the big-wigs of the state including some senior politicians as well as bureaucrats had encroached big chunks of land. He made it clear that BJP is at present doing extensive exercise to unearth all the wrongs committed by subsequent governments headed by NC, Congress and PDP, and soon more such surgical strikes shall be carried out to rectify all the misdemeanors committed by these parties. “The party will ensure that strict punitive action should be taken against delinquent irrespective of their standing or affiliations with elite”, he added.
The senior BJP leader expressed apprehension that it is quite possible that this well-knit plan may have been launched from across the border in connivance with Pak’s overt or covert supporters here, in an attempt to change the demography of the Jammu region as the process was going on under the nose of authorities in the erstwhile State for the past several years to accommodate people from a particular community by legalizing the illegal occupants of the land and making them the real owner. He however, reiterated that come what may, the Bharatiya Janata Party will never let this happen and the nationalistic contours of Jammu region will continue to haunt those who are involved in anti-national activities and want to establish their rein beyond Pir Panjal. “No power on earth can help people with separatist mentality to realize their dream making Land Jihad a success in J&K as BJP leadership is standing at guard and will give a befitting response to all those having evil intentions against India”, he maintained adding that it is time for delinquent of J&K to get ready to face action for their misdeeds.
