JAMMU, Aug 1: While issuing appeal to the people of Jammu region to get prepared for a long and decisive battle for AIIMS in Jammu region, AIIMS Coordination Committee today said that the people of Jammu region are prepared to face the official wrath of the ungrateful BJP Government in the State, but no amount of brutal force can deter the unarmed and peaceful people of Jammu region who are fighting for the establishment of AIIMS in Jammu.
The speakers while addressing a large gathering here said that a reign of senseless brutalities unleashed on the peaceful protesters is being witnessed. They declared their resolve to further intensify the ongoing mass movement for establishing AIIMS in Jammu.
“We were clear in our minds right from the day one that the BJP was not interested in appreciating the sentiments of the people of Jammu province as it has chosen to turn intensely and slavishly pro-Kashmir after they entered into alliance with PDP. Under the inspiration of its new Kashmiri mentors, the BJP is treating the people of Jammu like animals unworthy of any decent treatment. Entire Jammu is seething with anger and the BJP will have to pay unimaginable price for their treachery and betrayal of the people of Jammu,” chairman of AIIMS CC and president JKHCBA, Jammu, Abhinav Sharma maintained.
Earlier, heavy police contingent did not allow massive rally of AIIMS CC to enter either Canal Road and Old City areas. When police tried to stop the AIIMS CC cadres to gherao the official residence of Deputy Chief Minister Nirmal Singh, the ralliests broke open the police cordon at several places and moved towards different parts of the old city raising AIIMS for Jammu and anti-BJP slogans.
“For the people of Jammu, who have been suffering discrimination and marginalization for more than six decades, it is fight to the finish. We are prepared for a long haul. We will resort to all peaceful means to preserve our self-respect and achieve our targets including AIIMS and proper share in the governance of the state as true Indian nationals,” said the entire leadership of AIIMS CC.
Senior leaders of the AIIMS CC questioned the credibility of BJP and charged it with cheating the people of the region through its fake Jammu specific slogans. These leaders were unanimous in expressing that BJP is the only party in the country which has consistently bartered its ideology to capture power or retain control over it.
