BJP targets Omar government over land grabbing

"Is it democracy, socialism, guaranteed right of equality in a socio welfare state or a Jungle raaj? Till date no action has been taken against ministers, bureaucrats, policemen for their involvement or patronising to grab the rights of others` lands under the present dispensation of Omar Abdullah," BJP state spokesperson Ramesh Arora told reporters here today.

"We question the intention of the Chief Minister while declaring 2011 as an anti-corruption year. Motive should be reflected in action and ministers involved directly or indirectly should be sacked from the government," he said.

He said, "Omar is keeping mum despite massive reports of land grabbings and patronage by ministers, bureaucrats and police officers."

Some local newspapers had carried reports naming top police officers and politicians in grabbings of huge government lands and others in Jammu during last one week.

"Militancy has proved a boon for corrupt politicians and bureaucrats and fatal for many innocents. Persons sitting at the helm of affairs including our Chief Minister is unable to see land scams and undue accumulation of wealth by few land grabbers," he said.
