JAMMU, Jan 31: Dogra Swabhimaan Sangathan president and former MP, Ch Lal Singh today said that Sikh community of Jammu region is the worst sufferer in every respect.
Addressing a large gathering of Sikh community here today, Ch Lal Singh referred to the great role of Sikh Guru, Sri Gobind Singh Ji and remembered the unparallel sacrifices made by him for the cause of justice to the people. How a brave community like Sikh can be marginalized and their contribution belittled, he remarked.
He regretted that the Sikh community is the worst sufferer in Jammu province and their sufferings started from the days of the partition when they were uprooted from their homes and hearths under a deep rooted political conspiracy in which the entire non- Kashmiri speaking area of Jammu was converted into disputed territory. The design was aimed to keep political power with Kashmir permanently. It was the result of the same that this entire community was scattered at different places and was not allowed to settle at one place simply with the aim to weaken this brave community.
While lambasting the NC, Ch Lal Singh said that it sounds incredulous that how the party like NC and its leaders bank upon the votes of this community to whom they did not give the shelter to settle in Kashmir in 1947 partition and were forcefully evacuated to this part of the region, and have frozen their political fate in the form of seats still lying vacant in the Assembly. While targeting PDP, Lal Singh further said that this is another face of NC and Mehbooba Mufti always looked for the opportunity to divide the people of Jammu and polarize for political gains.
He made a fervent appeal to the Sikh community to come under the banner of Dogra Swabhimaan Sangathan and support its vision which is only a alternative for the whole Jammu province where we can safeguard our age old culture of unity in diversity. He further said that given a chance Dogra Swabhimaan Sangathan will give due share to all its stakeholders and make Jammu province a worth living place.
