JAMMU, Aug 29: A demonstration was staged by BJYM activists who also torched the effigy of Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh at Dogra Chowk here today in protest against the involvement of Congress led UPA Government in coal scam.
The rally was the part of the national level protest being held by the BJYM. The protest rally was led by Munish Sharma, State president of the organisation.
Addressing the rally, Munish Sharma, said that Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh is fully involved in the scam as Coal Ministry was working under his office and unusually large number of coal mines were allotted without inviting competitive bids. The coal mine scam is up till now mother of all scams and has been detected by CAG, a Constitutional authority meant to oversee the actions of the Government.
He said the lame excuses and facile explanation given by Congress and Dr. Manmohan Singh as also finding fault with CAG can not diminish the enormity of their wrong doing. On one hand, common man is groaning under sky high prices and on the other hand, Congress led UPA Government is pursuing generation of illegal monies by unfair and illegal means unmindful of common man’s suffering.
Mr Sharma said that in the State also Congress in partnership with NC is pursuing the same agenda of enjoying the pelf and power and is reveling in corruption and looting public exchequer.
Prominent among those who participated in the Sanjay Baru, Vijay Choudary, Surinder Choudhary, Karan Sharma, Ajay Vaid, Arjun Sharma, Kr Rajeshwar Singh, Makson Tickoo, Chetan Mehram, Bandeep Kumar, Chetan Manhas, Rinku Chouhan, Vishal Nishal, Sunil Sharma, Manav Mahajan, Sunil Kumar, Gourav Manjotra, Kuldeep Mattoo, Sagar, Avinash, Pawan Singh, Avikash Sharma, Rajendra Singh, Ashwani Sharma, Rahul Gupta and others.
