Jammu, Sept 24: Alleging that a number of ministers in the PDP-led coalition government in Jammu and Kashmir were supporting militancy, Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party, a partner in the coalition, today demanded setting up of a parliamentary committee to examine them "There are many ministers in the present government who not only support militancy, but also house give shelter to ultras in their houses," JKNPP chief Bhim Singh told mediapersons here.
Reacting to the allegations of state Agriculture Minister Abdul Aziz Zargar's involvement in militancy, Singh said he had apprised Deputy Prime Minister L K Advani of the links of some other state ministers also with militants when he met him in New Delhi recently. On the healing touch policy of the Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed, he said, "It seems only for militants and not for common people."
Singh also criticised the government for not implementing the common minimum programme (CMP) with thrust on eradication of corruption in the state and added that he had asked Congress president Sonia Gandhi to hold a meeting of coalition partners for strict implementation of CMP. Bureau Report
