He said that demand for Party chairman’s candidature for Lok Sabha had emanated from various Assembly segments of district Kathua, Udhampur and erstwhile Doda district.
Accusing the erstwhile parliamentarians from Jammu region of failure in appropriately projecting the cause of Dogras, Mankotia said that Jammu and its issues faced total eclipse in the parliament with none to project the aspirations of its people. He said that repeated experimentation with traditional political parties including BJP and Congress had only caused disappointment amongst the people of the region. Not only had the region been divested in terms of its share in development and employment but the very culture and identity of the Dogras faced severest threat during the incumbency of the leaders of the said parties, said Mankotia.
Yash Paul Kundal (Ex-MLA) said that Jammu’s lone recognized regional party should be given a chance to represent its people in the Parliament. He said that it was NPP alone which persistently and most vociferously raked up Jammu’s cause during the last four years. With not a single issue of Jammu left untouched, the Panthers Party vigorously fought for the rights of people and proved itself as true champion of Jammu cause, Kundal said.
He said that Harsh Dev having made unparalleled contributions in education sector besides being a strong, articulate leader will be the best choice for the people.
Senior leaders PK Ganju, Shanker Singh Chib, Jagdev Singh, Parmjeet Singh Marshall and Parshotam Parihar were also present.
