POONCH, Apr 16: Youth National Conference (YNC) here today staged a protest demonstration against arbitrary hike in fuel prices, inflation and soaring unemployment in J&K.
The protest was led by Naveen Singh, YNC joint secretary Jammu province; Shafeeq Baba, Raju Thakur and Sadhat Ali Khan wherein the protesters held placards and raised slogans against hike in petroleum products and other essential commodities.
Naveen Singh told reporters that the lower and middle class families are feeling the inflation bit more than anyone else.
“The administration has failed to take meaningful steps to curb the inflation. The political instability and governance deficit have already wreaked havoc on our people, particularly daily wagers, hawkers, labourers, middle, BPL and salaried classes,” he claimed adding that the people are struggling to make both ends meet.
Khan said that the government is victimizing farmers, transporters, traders, daily wagers, hawkers, BPL and middle class families.
