JAMMU, Feb 7: Congress leader Satish Sharma along with locals staged a protest demonstration against the BJP led Government for its anti people policies at outside SDM Office, Khour, here today.
Hundreds of youth and local residents joined the protest to raise their demands of revocation of order of cancellation of jobs, reinstatement of separate ALC quota and to express their anguish against the failures of Govt of J&K to control mining mafia and issuing of anti people orders to disturb the peace among people living in rural areas.
While addressing the protestors, Satish Sharma said that the Government of J&K which is remotely controlled by the Central BJP Govt is a complete failure and is each day proving to be a disaster for the people of J&K. “This Govt approved to designate a competent authority for seeking permission to do any kind of construction in the rural area,” he asserted.
He also raised the issue of recruitment for the post of constable in two border battalions in which they excluded the candidates who had earlier qualified in PET/PST in earlier notification of these posts. Order of exclusion is against the spirit of law and violates fundamental right under Article 16 of the constitution
Satish also raised the problems being faced by villagers due to mining mafia in the area as people are being threatened by mining mafia in the area whenever people go to collect sand from the Nullah (Khads) that are passing through their Panchayat halkas and lambasted the Government for withdrawing the posts referred to JKPSC and JKSSB prior to 31/10/2019.
A memorandum raising all these demands was also given to SDM Khour in presence Ex Minister Kuldeep Verma, BDC Chairman Praveen Kumar, Prem Singh vice president DCC, Vijay Singh Sarpanch Panjtoot, Nikku Ram, Bablu Ram, Suraj Sharma (All former Sarpanches), Rattan Lal and many others.
