While addressing the media Maan Singh Rathore criticized the the govt. for the failure of their agencies and attacks.He said, “In last 40 days 11 to 12 Terror Attacks were carried out in J&K in which more than a dozen soldiers were martyred.

The worsening situation in the region is very concerning; this BJP led administration has failed on every front. We need to launch a full scale war against terrorism to protect the lives of the army, security forces, police and civilians.

He also added that full fledged statehood status should be given to J&K without any delay and before assembly elections.

Aakash Bharat lambasted the central government against the amendments passed by the department of Home Affairs, the lieutenant Governor has been bestowed with the power of deciding the matters related to: Transfer and posting of the Administrative Secretaries and cadre posts of All India Services officers & proposals related to Public order, All India Service and ACB. This notification has given arbitrary power to the lieutenant Governor to interfere into the working of Govt. elected by the people of Jammu & Kashmir, and also shows that BJP Govt. at centre has no intention of restoring the statehood at the earliest as directed by the Hon ble Supreme Court of India.

He added, ”The draconian order passed by the Home Ministry is against the interests of people and against the principles of democracy. We strongly oppose this move of central government. Thus the amendments passed are part of a continued systematic disempowerment of people of J&K and is another move to disempower and humiliate people of J&K.

He termed the move as the flagrant abuse of power designed to stifle the democratic voice of the people.
