JAMMU, June 12: The J&K Pradesh Youth Congress team visited the house of its slain Sarpanch, Ajay Bharti and conveyed their concern and heartfelt condolences.
The Youth Congress team led by its general secretary Nimrandeep Singh Bhullar along with Brinder Partap Singh, Divyansh Singh Jamwal (PYC secretaries) and District Youth Congress Jammu Urban, president Rahul Tandon met the family members of deceased Sarpanch and condemned the killing. Youth Congress leaders sought independent judicial probe to inquire into the circumstances of his killing and fix responsibility in this regard.
“The Government should fix responsibility for the failure to provide him security despite showing apprehension of threat to his life,” said Bhullar alleging that Pandita was denied protection for being a leader of the opposition Congress party.
“Ajay Bharti belonged to the minority community and his killing even makes it more painful for the society. Youth Congress expresses sympathy with the bereaved family,” Brinder Singh said.
Divyansh Jamwal charged the UT Administration of adopting dual yardsticks and discriminatory approach in the matter of security. Tandon said slain Sarpanch of village Lukbawan, Larkipora was associated with the Congress party and that is the only reason why the security was denied to him. He was not a nominated Sarpanch but an elected Sarpanch from minority community in Kashmir.
Bhullar also conveyed the heartfelt condolences message of National president Indian Youth Congress, Srinivas B.V and Incharge JKPYC Amarpreet Singh Lally, general secretary, Indian Youth Congress. He assured that the party leadership stands firm with the family members of Ajay Bharti.
