UDHAMPUR, Nov 29: Accusing the BJP of dancing to the tunes of PDP on varied issues including general governance, security and policy matters, Harsh Dev Singh, JKNPP chairman and former Minister said that the aspirations of the people of Jammu region had not only been disregarded but pushed into the oblivion.
He said that with entire focus of both Union as well as State Government on Kashmir centric issues, the people of the Dogra land were being taken for granted and marginalized. He said that not only the “Agenda of alliance” ignored Jammu but the newly appointed Interlocutor too seemed to be inclined towards Kashmir with hardly any initiative taken for addressing the age old bias and prejudice against this region.
Harsh was addressing several meetings during his tour of Sundla, Bharnara, Battal, Chiani, Kaghote and Kirmoo Villages of Ramnagar constituency.
“While the recommendation made by the Interlocutor for release of 4500 stone pelters had been accepted by the Union Government with process also have been initiated for their release, the GoI had further indicated its intention to shelve the Kashmir migrants townships project apparently under pressure of separatists,” lamented Harsh.
Flaying the BJP for its submissive posturing and lame duck approach, Singh said that not a single promise made by it during elections had been honoured or even any initiative taken to fulfill the same. He said that discrimination in recruitments particularly by PSC and SSB, delimitation of Assembly constructions, deportation of Rohingyas, withdrawal of cases against youth booked during Amar Nath Ji land row, etc were some of the issues which were persistently being raked up even by BJP workers with no takers for the same in their own Government.
Calling upon the people to strengthen their own Jammu basted Panthers Party, Singh said that lame BJP on crutches could never protect the interests of people of Jammu. He said that having been cradled in cozy cushions of power, the BJP leaders had divorced their fundamentals and crore philosophy which their predecessors so proudly cherished.
