JAMMU, Jan 22: Accusing the BJP of ruthlessly murdering the very self esteem and the aspirations of the people of Jammu region to satiate its lust for power, 25 Panther volunteers shaved their heads to mourn the political sin committed by the MLAs of the Saffron party, near Maharaja Hari Singh Statue on 8th day of JKNPP’s relay hunger strike, today.
Meanwhile, a batch of several activists from Kishtwar, Doda and Poonch districts relieved and replaced their earlier fellow colleagues of district Rajouri to hold the protest against the subjugation of Jammu Pradesh and its youth.

While making a forceful appeal to the Jammuites to oppose and depose the BJP’s juggernaut for its demagoguery and sheer opportunism, Harsh Dev Singh, Chairman, JKNPP, said that Saffron brigade which got overwhelming mandate from Jammu region on the slogan of demolishing the father-daughter Party (Baap-Beti Sarkar) fell flat before the PDP immediately after winning 25 seats from Jammu region and had literally begged before it to accept it as its junior partner.
He said that three years BJP’s rule was a sordid tale of failures, betrayals and surrenders with none of its elected representatives raking up the promised issues of Jammu region. He said that while the PDP continued to dictate terms on almost all issues, the BJP leaders remained content with the lollypops of ministries and two flags flying atop their official luxury cars thus making a mockery of Dr Shyama Prasad Mookerjee’s philosophy of ‘Ek Nishan, Ek Vidhan.
Peeved over BJP’s silence over the discrimination with Jammu youth in the process of selections by the PSC/SSB, Harsh Dev Singh said that there had been a huge regional bias in the recruitments made by them for the last three years which revealed a petty low share of Jammu region plummeting to mere 3-5 percent as compared to Kashmir valley.
Balwant Singh Mankotia and Yash Pal Kundal warned the State Government to immediately come out with the regularization policy of the all the contractual employees including lecturers, NHM employees, Home Guards, etc.
