Sir,
This is in reference to observations made by one H R Phonsa in his letter to editor “Jammu cries for healing touch ” by Mr K B Jandial on May 20.
While we all appreciate Mr Phonsa’s concern of SC/ ST/ OBC classes yet it defeats the very spirit of the article. The main purpose of article was to focus on the miseries of Jammuites as a whole and not of a particular community be it elite or backward one.
Right from the independence, the Jammu people are crying for their equal rights but the successive Govts whether of NC, PDP and Congress have been busy in pleasing Kashmir region only. The Jammuites are peace loving people and have respect and love for their Kashmiri brethren but at the same time need their rightful and justified ” HAQ ”
Let us not divide Jammu on community lines to give advantage to Kashmir centric leadership. We should unitedly fight for the cause of Jammu and first and foremost task before us is to bring back AIIMS and not allow shelving of Artifical lake project where a hefty sum has already been spent.
The entire opposition, Bar and Chamber of Commerce have come forward to retrieve once again the past glory of Jammu and we should strengthen their hands and I for one salute them for taking up the cause of Jammu
Yours etc…

Well meaning and well drafted article in your style conveys woes of Jammu region. In such presentations, rural and agriculture difficulties also do deserve mention.
