JAMMU, Feb 22: Activists of Dogra Front & Shiv Sena under the leadership of their president, Ashok Gupta today staged a protest demonstration against Government’s decision to impose Property Tax in J&K.
Addressing protesters Gupta said that J&K Lieutenant Governor, Manoj Sinha had promised last year that Property Tax would not be imposed in J&K and the same thing was then stated by the Mayor and Deputy Mayor as well.
The Shiv Sena leader asked the Government to revisit the decision of imposing Property Tax in J&K and termed the imposing of this tax as ‘grave injustice’ with the people of J&K.
“Property Tax will overburden J&K people who are already struggling to make both ends meet,” he maintained.
Abhishek, Kimti, Bantu, Birbal, Sushil, Nirmal, Kalu and others were also present in the protest.
