Singh accused Kashmir-based rulers of discriminating with the Jammu region over the past seven decades and said his recently launched outfit called ‘Dogra Svabhiman Sangathan’ would fight to restore the pride of Dogra community.
“We appeal to the people of the region to hoist the Tricolour at their houses on the Independence Day and celebrate the day with great enthusiasm. Jammu is about absolute nationalism. We are 100 per cent nationalists unlike those from Kashmir,” the former Minister said.
He said Kashmir-based leaders have ruled the State for the last 70 years and now it’s time for the people of Jammu region to come to power.
“All the governments have not done justice with Jammu which faced worst kind of discrimination over the past 70 years and used it as a ladder (to grab the power),” the BJP leader told reporters here.
Singh who has launched a movement to unmask those who are conspiring to defame the Dogras of Jammu for their vested interests had said the Kathua rape case was a “conspiracy” against the people of Jammu.
Taking a onus to himself Singh launched a campaign in the region to take on those elements who are trying to harm the national cause and bring a bad name to Dogras of the region.
Singh said he will continue his crusade for the pride of Dogras and nationalist people of the State to give a befitting reply to those who are hell bent to defame the people of Jammu region.
Singh had to quit soon after his remarks on the Kathua case involving alleged gangrape of a minor girl from a nomadic community.
