Srinagar, June 10: BJP’s Kashmir Unit on Thursday said that the Central government’s every decision or step will be right for the people of Kashmir  and rejected the rumors about the statehood for Jammu, divisions in Valley or  any other further change.

In a statement issued here, Party Kashmir Media Incharge and youth leader Manzoor Bhat said every step from the central leadership will be right for the people.

“Howvere, there is no truth about statehood to Jammu, creating divisions or any other change in J&K. The recent meetings held by the Center and UT leadership were  routine process to review things in the newly created UT regarding political killings, Covid19 vaccination, and security review,” he said.

Bhat urged people not to pay to heed to rumors. Some anti-national elements are behind spreading these rumors and they had already deceived people during the past 70 years and now they want bloodshed, killings and strikes.

“We have full faith in central leadership that the aspirations of people will always be respected. It is time to move forward the mission of naya Kashmir for development and peace. No step will be taken without the people’s involvement” he said.

Bhat said some people who were misleading masses on the name of autonomy and Pakistan, they had accepted their shops of bloodshed and killings have stopped working and now they are spreading rumors.

“Now they are behind the power and people have rejected their politics at every level’” he said.

Regarding issuing of tax notices served by Badami Bagh Cantonment Board (BBCB), an autonomous body under the Ministry of Defense,to people in Srinagar areas, Bhat said the prevailing situation is not conducive for collecting property taxes.

“From the past two years, the financial condition of people is not good, such steps will further create panic in the middle of covid crisis. We appeal to the Defense Ministry to stop issuing such notices to people in the middle of a pandemic situation improve s and people will pay it,”  Bhat said.

He said even scores of people from Sonwar, Indra Nagar, Batwara, and Shivopora expressed dismay over issuing of these notices to them and our party had assured every possible support to them.
