Ignored Jammu can’t afford complacency: AIIMS CC

Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, June 21: AIIMS Coordination Committee Chairman Advocate Abhinav Sharma today made passionate appeal to the people to start preparing themselves for a relentless and result-oriented movement after July 21 in case the PDP-BJP Coalition Government failed to honour the commitment that it will obtain appropriate order for AIIMS in Jammu from Government of India.
Interacting with media-persons, he said, “we have crossed just the first hurdle. There are many more hurdles yet to be crossed. Hence, it is imperative on the part of all of us to use the available time for mobilization across Jammu region”, adding “we cannot afford to go complacent just because we have got a written commitment from Deputy Chief Minister and Forest Minister as people of Jammu region have suffered a lot because of complacency”.
“We have to be alert and in an agitational mood to avert the possibility of the Kashmir-centric authorities cheating yet again the people of Jammu region”, said Advocate Abhinav Sharma. He was flanked by Senior Vice-President Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCI), Sham Langer, Vijay Kumar Sharma, General Secretary, All J&K Transport Union, Narayan Singh, President, Amar Kshatriya Rajput Sabha and B S Slathia, former president Bar Association.
Reiterating that Coordination Committee will leave no stone unturned to make the authorities fulfill their solemn commitment made at the venue of chain hunger strike, Advocate Sharma rejected as baseless the claims of certain elements, who had been trying to create confusion among the people by making them to understand that Coordination Committee was the creation of certain defeated political parties.
“The people of Jammu region extended their fullest possible support to the Coordination Committee because it was rightly considered a non-political formation committed to serving their cause”, he said while disclosing that tehsil and district level committees would be constituted across the Jammu for mobilization of public opinion.
