SAMBA, Dec 29: Former Minister and Apni Party Provincial President Manjit Singh urged the Government of India (GoI) to restore Statehood to Jammu and Kashmir so that the confidence of the people can be restored.
He made these remarks while welcoming new entrants into the party fold at Vijaypur. Prominent political activists joined the party after being impressed with the policies of the party.
Ex-Congress leader Gambir Singh and Rakesh Sharma, who contested DDC elections as independent candidate alongwith others, joined the party.
Welcoming them into the party fold, the former Minister Manjit Singh, “There is growing concern over delay to the Statehood and in absence of the elected Government in J&K the people are in despair as no one listens to their grievances”.
He said that the people are generally concerned about unemployment and sinking private sector jobs. “Competition in the Government jobs has increased and the private sector is also not doing well from last one year. The people are concerned about the employment and security of jobs for their future generation,” he said.
“The GoI should hold Assembly polls in J&K and restore the Statehood. The feeling among the people is that they always stood for the country and still, they are not being trusted by the Government,” said Manjit Singh and added that the Government should restore 4G mobile internet services.
“The border residents and villagers have a growing sense of insecurity and therefore, the Government should take a decision regarding land rights in their favour,” he added.
OBC State Coordinator Madan Lal Chalotra, SC State Coordinator Bodh Raj Bhagat, Apni Party leaders Sardeesh Rana, Palav Sangral and many others were present on the occasion.
