JAMMU, Aug 25: While condemning the anti-national acts and terror funding by some people in the State, All Jammu Civil Society Forum (AJCSF) has demanded immediate deportation of  Rohingyas from Jammu areas.
A  meeting of the core group of AJCSF was held here today in the office Chamber of Traders Federation Jammu (CTFJ) August, 2017 under the leadership of AJCSF convener, former minister Gulchain Singh Charak.  All members unanimously condemned the involvement of a few isolated Jammuites in assisting the terror funding and called it a slur on the clean nationalist ethos of Jammu region. The AJCSF takes a very dim view of any direct/ indirect involvement in any kind of anti-national activity, hawala transactions or conduits to terror funding. AJCSF urged the Government to award the severest exemplary punishment under the law of the land to nip the evil in the bud.
The AJCSF reiterated its concern on continued stay of Rohingyas  and Bangladeshis as they pose great security risk. It said nothing has happened even after instructions from the MHA. The members felt that there was a conspiracy in getting them here all the way to Jammu and a continued hidden agenda to soft peddle the issue and give only lip service instead of any notable action on ground to push them out.
Ex- MLC Maj Gen Goverdhan Singh Jamwal (Retd), Brig MS Jamwal (Retd) and Col. Karan Singh Jamwal (Retd) strongly voiced for abrogation of Article 35-A which has lost its credibility as exposed for being an addition to the constitution on legally unsound footing.   Neeraj Gupta, president CTF suggested examining the evil impacts of removing Art 35A on Jammu region which may receive maximum migrations under prevailing conditions. Veteran warrior Col (Dr) Virendra K Sahi, sought to modify Art 35-A by removing the hurting provisions. He suggested that the discrimination against the women getting married outside the J&K State be removed and their spouse and children be accepted as state subjects as done in case of men getting married outside the State. He also suggested the West Pakistan refugees and Balmikis born in J&K be granted PRC as natural citizenship by birth in the State.
