JAMMU, Jan 14: Balwant Singh Mankotia, convener of the Jammu Pradesh United Front (JPUF) and other senior leaders of various parties and core members of the front appealed various like minded political parties, social organizations and allied forums to support the movement led by the Front for the cause of Jammu Pradesh.
Mr Mankotia said that Jammu Province has been facing socio-political discrimination since decades with regard to allocation of funds, employment in Govt. services, selection in professional Colleges or number of Assembly Constituencies in comparison with Kashmir.
He lamented that despite election of 25 MLAs from Jammu region we have not been able to form a Government headed by the Chief Minister from Jammu region.
Mankotia and other core members of the Front were of the view that the people of Jammu Pradesh should learn from Omar Abdullah that how he dared to give an unconditional support to the PDP instead of BJP cutting across his party lines for the cause of Kashmir.
“Even Hurriyat Conference and other separatist groups also raised their voice in unison with all the Kashmir centric political parties showing their solidarity with the region,” Mankotia stated.
He added that the time is ripe now that the people of Jammu Province should get united and fight for their rights leaving behind their petty interests to secure the future of the forthcoming generation once and for all.
