JAMMU, Sept 6: Agitated over the delay tactics of the State Government in evicting Rohingyas and Bangladeshis from Jammu region, Panthers activists today held a strong protest demonstration.
Spearheaded by Harsh Dev Singh, chairman JKNPP and former Minister; Balwant Singh Mankotia, State president JKNPP and Yash Paul Kundal, State president Young Panthers, the JKNPP activists staged a vociferous protest demonstration against the BJP-PDP coalition for its failure to take call to deport the foreign immigrants to their native countries despite public protests and repeated assurances from the Govt.
Amidst raising of anti-BJP slogans, the infuriated protesters also torched the effigy of the BJP-PDP combine and sought immediate repatriation of the illegally settled foreigners from the Dogra soil.
Addressing the gathering, Harsh Dev Singh said that the so called GoM constituted by the State Government for the purpose of deportation of the foreign immigrants to their respective countries had proved an ‘eye wash’. “The much hyped group of four cabinet Ministers headed by DyCM Nirmal Singh has only proved to be a mere window dressing to befool the people at large. The panel met on two occasions and instead of adopting practical approach, the GoM only threw the ball in the court of the Union Govt,” he said and warned that these illegal settlements could critically disturb the demographic composure of Jammu region.
Referring to the latest communication of Union Home Ministry to all States, Harsh Dev Singh said that the Centre had now directed the State Government to set up a task force at district level to identify and deport illegally staying foreign immigrants. He said that once again the directives from GoI had failed to elicit any response from the sinister BJP-PDP combine and no minister had issued any statement until now over the matter of serious concern. “The J&K Police on the directions of the State Government had compiled the comprehensive data of Rohingyas and Bangladeshis living illegally in the specific areas of jurisdiction but so far it had not been put in the public domain by the State Home Department for unknown reasons,” he added.
Balwant Singh Mankotia and Yash Paul Kundal also spoke on the occasion.
