JAMMU, Nov 2: A meeting of Gujjar Bakerwal Desh Youth Body held here to discuss the problems being faced by tribal people.
In the meeting, Nazakat Khatana said that the Muslim community of Jammu and adjoining areas are being targeted deliberately and the present Government is not paying solid attention towards the safety and security of these people.
Tribal people mostly live in forest and hilly areas and are being harassed by numerous ways, he said, adding that till date the “Forest Act” has not been enacted in favour of these hilly tribal people which is the most important right of these tribes.
The Gujjar community people will gherao the Civil Secretariat on the opening day in winter capital, he informed.
He appealed to the people of reserved categories to join this gherao on November 6 so as to press upon the Government to redress their grievances.
Among others present were Babu Chowdhary, Rafaqat Aijaz, Shamasdin, Jamat Ali and Ghulam Hussain.
