Kalyan Banerjee raises concern on situation in Jammu and Kashmir | Transcript

Full transcript: 

I have given a Notice early in the morning. This notice was for releasing the separatist and Hurriyat Leader Masrat Alam by the Jammu and Kashmir Government and the role of the Central Government in connection therewith and future steps to be taken thereof.

Madam, it is matter of great dismay, the day the Jammu and Kashmir Government has taken Oath, the Hon’ble Chief Minister of the Jammu and Kashmir Government is making, one after another statements which in effect goes against the interest of the country.

We have discussed that part. Earlier the Hon’ble Home Minister had also made a statement in respect thereof.  We had thought it would be stopped. In fact, after the Hon’ble Home Minister had made a statement, we had accepted it and did not say anything thereafter.

Now, Jammu and Kashmir Government is led by BJP and PDP governments and incidentally, the Hon’ble Prime Minister of our country also belongs to Bhartiya Janta Party.

BJP aur PDP ki Government chal rahi hai in Jammu and Kashmir. The way the person has been released, Masrat Alam, this is deprecated. I don’t understand why the Hon’ble Prime Minister did not make any statement in public, despite the BJP and PDP government is running the Government in Jammu and Kashmir.

This Central Government is having a tacit support in releasing in leader Masrat Alam.

If you are in the Government you have to take the responsibility. You cannot say, I don’t have any responsibility. You will enjoy being in the Government and how come you will not take any responsibility. Either today you admit that this Government is allowing these things going on in Jammu and Kashmir. Otherwise, humlog bahut baate sun liya hai 9 mahina-10 mahina bhar mein. Public ne bhi bahut baat sun li hai. Kuch kaam kijiye. Ab jab yeh accept nehi karenge, abhi toh BJP should resign from the government, if they do not accept this, to show they have not accepted it.
