Leader of BJP legislature party in Jammu and Kashmir Chaman Lal Gupta said the authorities were removing the security forces even from militancy-infected areas of the state.
Leader of BJP legislature party in Jammu and Kashmir Chaman Lal Gupta today accused the National Conference-Congress coalition of "shabbily" treating the brave men who have played a big role in fighting the menace of terrorism in far-flung areas of the state.
"Instead, the coalition partners are encouraging those elements who indulged in loot and plunder during the past years after getting arms trainings in Pakistan occupied Kashmir," Gupta said addressing a meeting of corporators and other party activists of Jammu West Assembly constituency here.
He said the authorities, under various pulls and pressures, were removing the security forces even from militancy-infected areas of the state and several schemes are underway to "rehabilitate" those ultras who had been indulging in many killings and subversive activities.
"The Special Police Officers (SPOs) and some others who played most important role in helping the security forces in driving out the militants from their hideouts in difficult areas and had kept the morale of villagers high in fighting the ultras, have been ignored by the authorities," Gupta, who was Union minister of state for defence during NDA rule, said.
In this connection, he cited recent lathi charge on protesting SPOs who were demanding permanent jobs in police and paramilitary forces.
Terming the "quiet diplomacy" as initiated by the Centre to rope in all shades of opinion in dialogue process for finding solution to Kashmir issue as dangerous, the BJP leader said nationalists of Jammu and Ladakh as also representatives of Pandit, Gujjar and Bakerwal communities have been kept out of the purview of this exercise.
