JAMMU, Sept 2: A group of Dogra youth under the banner Janta Ki Awaaz held protest under the leadership of Bhanu Partap Singh Goria against the UT administration and also against the Central Government.
Addressing the media, Bhanu urged Jammu and Kashmir LG to declare public holiday on Maharaja Hari Singh’s birth anniversary. A resolution to this effect was passed in the Legislative Council some years ago, but so far no action has been taken, he added.
“It was due to Maharaja Hari Singh that J&K became a part of India when he signed the instrument of accession on October 26, 1947”, he said, adding that apart from that he was a progressive and a far-sighted ruler who instituted many social and economic reforms for the welfare of the people.
Among others present were Amit Sharma, Akash Manhas, Darminder Singh, Akash Meenia, Aman Khajuria, Ajay Sharma, Rajesh Badgal, Neeraj Kumar, Parshant Banote, Shubhum Parmodhi, Rajat Kundan, Sundanan Sharma, Tarish Sharma, Lovish Sharma, Ansh Mehra, Arjun Suri, Raj Kumar and Mannu Suri.
