JAMMU, Dec 11: In a move of its own kind, the Panthers Party led by its chairman Harsh Dev Singh today organized a ‘Havan’ at Exhibition Ground Jammu, followed by protest seeking respite from soaring prices of essential commodities and staple vegetables besides restoration of mobile internet services banned by BJP Govt in Jammu region.
The Party leaders chanted hymns and slogans against BJP and J&K UT Administration. They alleged that BJP has miserable failed to control inflation.
Speaking on the occasion, Harsh Dev said that having exhausted all remedies to secure justice for the people of deprived, incarcerated Dogra land, the only option left was to invoke the super natural powers.
“We are invoking Gods to come to the rescue of Jammu people who are even otherwise left at the mercy of Almighty by a power intoxicated BJP regime. There is none to listen to the shrill cries of the people who are facing suppression and oppression at the hands of an authoritarian regime. None is allowed to raise his voice against the dictatorial moves of the Govt lest he should land in jail. The students, youth, traders, professionals and the common man is facing the brunt of an arbitrary and obnoxious gag order imposed on mobile internet services. But no one in govt is prepared to listen despite dozens of appeals, protests and representations made even to the highest of authorities. We have therefore no option but to seek the indulgence of the Almighty through a Havan”, Singh said.
Singh added that the monster of inflation has made the life of common man miserable. “The sky rocketing prices of staple vegetables, pulses and other essential commodities had posed the most menacing threat to the pockets of the common man. The poor and marginalized sections have been most prejudicially affected due to ever declining purchasing power of their meagre stagnant earnings. The govt has failed to control inflationary tendencies and was raking up controversial issues only to divert the attention of the people,” Singh said.
Rajesh Padgotra, Gagan Pratap Singh, Capt Anil Gour, Surinder Chouhan, Shanker Singh Chib, RP Sharma, Khajoor Singh and others also accompanied.
