JAMMU, July 30: Announcing formation of Dogri Sangarsh Morcha, led by Mohan Singh, activists of a number of literary and pro-Jammu organizations of Jammu province, today organized a protest rally against the Government move of imposing Kashmiri language in Jammu.

They raised slogans against the State Government and its purported move.
While speaking on the occasion, Mohan Singh, president Duggar Manch, asked the J&K Government to immediately revoke the order on conversion of 49 posts of Assistant Professors in Kashmir language, which has triggered strong resentment among the people of Jammu province. “It is assault on the Dogri and Dogra culture. The Dogra people will never tolerate this non serious attitude of Government,” he said.
On this occasion, Major General Goverdhan Singh Jamwal said that Kashmiri politicians want to create an impression that the Kashmiri is spoken in the whole of the J&K State which is not true. He further said that if Kashmiri is imposed on Jammu people, then Dogri and Ladakhi should also be taught in Kashmir region and posts of Dogri Asst Professors should be created for whole of the State. Further, he warned the Government that if the order is not revoked at the earliest, the Duggar Manch and other allied organizations will start a mass movement in Jammu region and its responsibility will be on the shoulders of Government. He appealed the people of Jammu to be ready for the further struggles to get the share of Dogri.
Atul Sudan, a youth leader of JJSF, warned that youth and student community of Jammu will not tolerate such kind of dictatorship of Kashmiri people. If the controversial order is not revoked immediately, students and youth of Jammu will come on roads against this,” he warned and added that it was very shamefull that the elected representatives from Jammu are maintaining a criminal silence over the issue.
Others who spoke on the occasion, included Hari Chand Jalmeria, Naresh Dutt Sharma, Uday Chand, Shakti Singh, N D Jamwal and others.
