JAMMU, Dec 30: Secretary Human Resources, Vivekananda Kendra, Kanyakumari, and a renowned environmentalist, C Vasudeo said that Kashmir is not a problem of trust deficit as alleged but it is the outcome of governance deficit.
Mr Vasudeo who was here to pay homage to martyr Pt Prem Nath Bhat, while delivering a series of lecturers at different functions organized by Kashmiri Pandit organizations said Pakistan will continue to create disturbances in Kashmir as it is working on a fixed agenda. The Kashmir problem is in the interest of Pakistan as well as Geelanis and other Hurriyat leaders as it has become a milking cow for them, he added.
He said though the coalition Government in the State was elected with a good mandate in 2008 Assembly elections, still the separatists who constitute one or two percent of the total population of the Valley fix the agenda and Government is totally helpless in countering them. The separatists are puppets in the hands of Pakistan and it is the duty of the Government to know who are the people behind the disturbances in the Valley, he added.
Terming the rising corruption as one of causes of the unrest in the State, Mr Vasudeo said Centre is giving more than the plan outlay to Jammu and Kashmir but this money does not go to the poorest of the poor. If the money is properly utilized the people will not take to arms, he added.
Strongly favouring tough action against the anti nationals and secessionists, he alleged that Government of India has done a series of blunders in Kashmir since 1947. The Central Government instead of being offensive is still defensive over Kashmir while Pakistan is working on a fixed agenda. If China issues stapled visas to Indian citizens the India should also reciprocate in the same manner, he added.
