JAMMU, June 2 : Madan Lal Sharma former MP and senior Congress leader has demanded Regional Council for ending discrimination with Jammu with regard to development, infrastructure building and addressing aspirations of the people.
Mr. Sharma added that apart from Modi wave the anger of the people was also for the discontent between Government and common man. He advised the State Government to depute their Ministers to far-flung areas and pay heed to the demand of employees and poor. He also demanded improvement in ration and other public delivery systems.
Addressing Congress workers in Jammu East, Mr Sharma pressed for Regional Council. He said that it will bring Governance to grass root level. He said that Governments are Kashmir Centric and they do not pay heed to the 90 percent of the Jammu’s specific issues like those of refugees, border people, SCs, STs and other economically weaker sections of the society.
Referring to the ongoing debate on Article 370, Mr Sharma said that this is just to divert the attention of people from development for vote bank politics and vested interests. He said that people of Jammu should demand Regional Council to end the disparity and discrimination. He appealed the Government to create Regional Council for Jammu on the pattern of Leh and Kargil Autonomous Hill Development Council.
Mr. Sharma also called upon the party workers who did not even work in the recent election to unite once again and work for the development of Jammu Region in particular and Congress Party in general.
Yogesh Sawhney Ex-Minister also addressed the people and raised various demands related to Urban poor and sought early intervention of State Government to resolve the same. Parnav Sagotra vice president PYC also spoke on the occasion and raised the issues of urban poor.
Among others who spoke and present on the occasion includes Kanta Bhan, Pawan Dev Singh, Y.B Sharma, Rajinder Kumar, Vijay Sharma, Uttam Singh Chib and Raman Suri.
