Jammu: Deputy Chief Minister of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, Surinder Chowdhary, has accused the Lieutenant Governor (LG) administration of centralising power and obstructing democratic functioning in the territory.<\/p>\n
According to Kashmir Media Service, speaking to reporters in Srinagar, Chowdhary said his security was downgraded and his motorcade withdrawn after he \u201cspoke the truth\u201d about maladministration. \u201cI am not afraid of anyone. My security was curtailed just because I told the truth. Even during elections, I was forced to manage private security \u2014 but I will continue to speak openly; no one can silence me,\u201d he asserted.<\/p>\n
Chowdhary said key administrative files, including those related to business rules and the Advocate General\u2019s office, were being withheld by the LG, paralysing governance. \u201cGovernance cannot function through anger or personal grudges,\u201d he remarked, urging the LG to return the pending files.<\/p>\n
The Deputy CM also blamed the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for creating a \u201ccomplete mess\u201d in occupied Jammu and Kashmir over the past eleven years. He said the people of Jammu were deeply frustrated and demanded the immediate restoration of statehood. \u201cWhatever wrongs the BJP has committed during this period must be investigated,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Referring to the recent Jammu Sainik Colony incident, where a woman was shot dead by an Indian armed man, Chowdhary questioned the LG\u2019s control over the police and lack of accountability. \u201cIf the police work directly under the LG, why has no action been taken against the officers responsible?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n
He further claimed that bureaucratic interference had stalled the promotions of several Superintending and Civil Engineers, alleging that \u201cIAS officers are busy pleasing the LG instead of serving the people.\u201d<\/p>\n
Chowdhary appealed to the people of Jammu and Kashmir to unite for their democratic and constitutional rights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
