Govt depriving nomads of basic rights: PCC chief

Excelsior Correspondent

SRINAGAR, Mar 16: Prad-esh Congress Committee president, G A Mir has said that Govt  is adopting half-hearted approach about the well being of  Gujjars and Bakerwals and other nomadic communities,  depriving them of the facilities they are entitled such as mobile school facility, electricity, water supply, BPL status and old age pension,
In a statement issued here today, PCC chief  mentioned  that Govt has forgotten the Gujjars and Bakerwals in every respect. He described the present dispensation as anti-backward and  asked the Govt to change its attitude towards the poor and backward classes living in the State.  He said one wonders as to why the Govt is non- serious about the difficulties confronting these backward sections of the State.
He said these backward communities are being pushed to darkness under a well-planned strategy, depriving people, particularly backward class, of their basic rights merely on political lines is highly objectionable and condemnable and the Govt needs to change its policies towards them.
PCC chief added that Congress Party alone has taken various revolutionary steps for the upliftment of poor and downtrodden sections of the State besides ensuring various Centrally sponsored schemes for the development of Gujjars- Bakerwals and other Nomadic groups, but one fails to understand why the approach of present dispensation is callous about the well being of these poor classes.
Mir warned the Govt of serious consequences, if it fails to change its attitude towards these poor section.  He stressed the need for providing mobile school facility, water supply, BPL status, old age pension and others facilities to these backward classes of the State on priority basis.
