SAMBA, Sept 15: Former Minister and JKPCC general secretary Manjit Singh today condemned unprovoked cease fire violation by Pakistan in which one BSF Jawan lost his life.
Condemning the Pakistan’s act, Manjit Singh said that the repeated violations on the International Border (IB) have proved that Modi Government has failed in its foreign policy.
“India needs a strong government which Congress provided and such a situation did not arise. However, the Modi Government is unable to deal with the border situation,” former minister alleged.
He said that a BSF jawan lost his life while defending borders with Pakistan. Pakistan Rangers shelling has also wounded several cattle and hit houses in border area.
He said that the Government should give five marla plots to the border residents in safer areas so that they can shift during hostility on border. He said that the Modi Government should take immediate steps to provide relief and other things of need to the Pak shelling affected people.
The Congress leader also demanded reservation in jobs and professional institutions in favour of people residing along International Border. He said that the Government should provide reservation to the border residents like it has given rights of reservation to ALC/LoC residents.
