JACRC flays PMO for not inviting SC,ST, OBCs reps in APM

Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Jun 23: Joint Action Committee of Reserved Categories (JACRC) under leadership of Asad Noomani today condemned the attitude of BJP top brass as they did not call any of the representatives from SC, ST, OBC communities of J&K UT for All Party meeting being convened by Prime Minister in Delhi tomorrow.
In a meeting held today, Noomani castigated both the local and central leadership of the ruling party for repeatedly befooling the masses including SC/ST/OBCs on the name of development and benefits of abrogation of article 370. They said that great hopes were pinned when Prime Minister and the Home Minister of India while abrogating Article 370 declared that `history will be re-written in J&K with the abrogation of Article 370.’
It is almost two years down, but loss of statehood and abrogation of article 370 has done no good to people of J&K, especially the marginalized ones who repeatedly voted for BJP. Now, after failing to full fill the false promises, the BJP top brass has called a meeting of all the political representatives from JK UT and ironically none from SC/ST/OBC communities have been called to put forth the view point of 2/3rd population of JKUT in the All Party Meeting called on June 24. BJP even ignored their own SC, ST and OBC Morcha leaders.
Prof GL Thapa president SC/ST Retired Employees Welfare Forum while expressing his views asked the Central leadership of BJP, that who will discuss issues of SC/ST/OBCs in the meeting including constitutional rights that were to be extended to JKUT after abrogation of article 370, as promised by the PM & the HM.
Mohinder Bhagat state president, Bhagat Mahasabha said that PM as per his promise must direct LG of JK UT to personally intervene and get implemented all the Constitutional Rights of SC/ST/OBCs as promised while abrogating Article 370.
Prof Kali Dass, general secretary, AIBCU; Sham Lal Bassan, president Dalit Chetna Manch, Bodh Raj Bhagat, Dr CR Munday, Dr Haridayal and others also spoke on the occasion.
