JAMMU: The Jammu and Kashmir Government has been told to withdraw its directive on encroachments by nomads in forest land, senior BJP leader Ram Madhav said today.
“The directive (of Tribal Affairs department) issued and circulated to different districts must be withdrawn. This we have told the Government already,” Madhav told reporters here.
Madhav, who is the party’s general secretary in-charge of the State, was replying to a question about the alleged demographic changes in Jammu due to the settlement of the Rohingyas and tribals on encroached State lands in Jammu city.
“There has been very clear and consistent stand of the BJP on these two issues (deportation of Rohingyas and massive encroachments and settlement on state lands by tribal people),” Madhav said. (AGENCIES)
