JAMMU, Feb 19: Ridiculing those who have unleashed communally-motivated campaign that the people of Jammu Province are against Muslims, JKHCBA, Jammu, President, Senior Advocate BS Slathia today said that the ongoing movement in the entire Jammu Province in the aftermath of the Pulwama massacre of 44 innocent CRPF jawans is between nationalists and anti-nationals and it is a national response to the subversive forces and to those who wanted to create a narrative that Muslims of Jammu were unsafe.
“Muslims of Jammu Province are nationalists. They have all along defeated the evil designs of anti-national forces in Kashmir and across the border and LoC. They have always stood with the nation and communal harmony, brotherhood and peaceful co-existence. To say that the nationalists in Jammu Province have targeted them is a travesty of the truth. The truth is that vested interests in Kashmir have been creating bad blood between the Hindus and Muslims to achieve their nefarious design: separation of J&K from India and its merger with Pakistan.,” said Slathia, adding that Jammu Province is an oasis of peace and communal harmony.
He said that no one will be allowed to vitiate the atmosphere in Jammu province by raising pro-Pakistan and anti-India slogans and that we the people of the province have been standing like a rock against such forces.
Slathia demanded stringent action against JNU girl student living in Delhi, who posted highly inflammatory posts to provoke anti-India protests in Jammu and elsewhere. He also demanded that WhatApp groups like “Kashmir Distress Alert” be banned, as they attempt to provoke fissiparous activities, which have all the potential of playing havoc with the nation by pitting people against people and region against region.
“JKHCBA, Jammu, will fight for the national cause in the State to the hilt and defeat the anti-national forces and declared that the work in all the courts, including the High Court will remain suspended tomorrow as a mark of protest against the Pulwama massacre”, he informed.
Slathia also said that the JKHCBA, Jammu, has constituted a committee of lawyers charged with the duty of offering free legal aid to the nationalists who had been and are still being booked under fictitious and bogus charges.
The said Committee will consist of Advocates Sudershan Sharma, Ashok Misra, Pranav Kohli, Sachin Gupta, Prem Sadotra, Himanshu Sharma, Daljeet Singh Manhas, Vikash Sharma, Monish Chopra, Gaurav Jamwal, Anil Khajuria, Vikas, Pankaj, Ajay Bakshi, Rohit Gupta, Surjit Andotra, Baldev Singh, Nitin Gupta, Divya Eshan, Rajat Gupta, Azar Khan, Arjun Singh Manhas, Zeeshan Chohan, Amit Manhas, Ameer Awan and Pradeep Gupta.
