JAMMU, June 21: Accusing the present regime of disregarding the sentiments of the people of Dudu-Basantgarh and seeking a CBI probe into the Seoj Dhar murder of Shiv Raj, the NPP chairman and former Minister today held a protest demonstration at Jammu and torched the effigy of the BJP Government.
“The saffron regime has proved to be a failure in addressing the issues of the people of remote and far flung areas ever since it assumed the reins of power. There were no takers for the shrill cries of the people of far flung areas for justice who continued to be abused and hoodwinked by the BJP even after its ascendance to power”, said Singh.
The NPP chairman was referring in particular to the unresponsiveness of the Government towards the demand of the people of Dudu-Basantgarh who were seeking a CBI probe into the murder of Shiv Raj at Seoj Dhar besides other criminal acts of nomads and outside migrants in the area.
He regretted that when demands of a high level probe were raised by the people, the BJP leaders advised and provoked them to go for protests, dharnas and rallies notwithstanding the clear cut directives of UT and Central Government not to organize mass rallies in view of fast spreading Corona pandemic.
The former Minister regretted that despite the fact that Udhampur Parliament seat as well as both Chenani and Ramnagar assembly seats have gone to the BJP, its own leaders were suggesting the people to go for protest demonstrations to highlight their demand.
Ridiculing the BJP leaders for indulging to mean politicking and cheap gimmickry, Harsh Dev said that rather than making the people to protest on roadside during Corona pandemic, these leaders should assume the mantle of getting the people’s demands fulfilled through their own struggle.
Singh said that he would continue to fight for the poor people of Chenani, Dudu-Basantgarh and Ramnagar till they were assured of justice with dignity and honour.
