NPP shall fight to finish: Harshdev

Excelsior Correspondent
UDHAMPUR, Feb 15: With J&K having been robbed of its statehood status, the BJP has destroyed the trade, tourism and economy of the erstwhile princely Dogra state of the country.
“While the economy fast dissipated and development came to a grinding halt, the ever growing unemployment seemed to be the only notable feature of the saffron rule. The past few years witnessed massive public uprisings against the anti- Jammu and anti- people policies of the ruling dispensation which continued to be suppressed through iron fist of police and civil administration,” NPP chairman Harshdev Singh said while addressing party convention at Majalta and Ramnagar today.
Singh further said taking repeated somersaults on almost all its professed promises, the BJP continued to use the coercive apparatus of State to silence all those who dared raise their voice for justice and sought fulfilment of promises made by it during elections. Rather than honouring the commitments made by it during elections, it was trying to crush the dissenting voices by causing dissensions in and breaking the opposition parties, he said.
Describing the BJP’s handling of dissent and disquiet as oppressively bizarre, undemocratic and morally sinister, Singh appealed to the workers not to succumb before the machiavellian designs of the power hungry politicians. He said that NPP leadership shall stand with its people through thick and thin and continue to expose and oppose the BJP for its political debauchery and subterfuge. “The Panthers Party shall fight to the finishing, Singh claimed.
Harshdev lambasted the BJP for having done the greatest disservice to J&K by demoting it to the level of UT. The extension of several draconian laws after abrogation of Art 370 including opening of lands and jobs to outsiders had in particular, come as a rude shocker for the people of J&K. The Dogras were the most disappointed lot as the BJP failed to even announce holiday on the birthday of Maharaja Hari Singh, the legendary ruler of J&K. The unemployed youth of Jammu region have been the most disappointed lot with their share in services have been reduced. The Daily wagers, the contractuals, the underemployed have all felt cheated in BJP regime, Singh added.
