Panthers Party’s State president Balwant Singh Mankotia while addressing the party workers at Udhampur, he alleged that versatile culture, tradition and historic places of Jammu were being neglected under a well planned conspiracy by the Government. Besides, he added, State Government is trying to impose Kashmiri language in Jammu region colleges rather than promoting the Dogri language here.
Mankotia warned that Panthers Party would not allow anyone to play with the history and mother tongue of Dogras.
On the occasion, Mankotia informed that Haq-Insaaf Yatra, started for separate Jammu State, has entered into 9th day and carried out awareness campaign by organizing rallies in Jammu region. During this campaign, hundreds of new members have been inducted in the party fold to garner the support for separate Jammu State, he added.
“During ten day tour of Jammu region from Kathua to Banihal and from Kishtwar to Poonch, we have groped the nerve of people from all religions and they have supported the movement started by Panthers Party for separate Jammu State,” he said and added that the way people have whole hearted supported the Haq-Insaaf Yatra in Jammu region, no one can now stop Jammu to become a separate State.
Mankotia further informed that the newly inducted 800 delegates will participate in the upcoming party election on 9th September and they will caste their vote for new working committee and leadership of the State.
