JAMMU, Oct 15: Jammu West Assembly Movement (JWAM) activists here today staged a protest demonstration demanding district status for Jammu West Assembly Constituency and its bifurcation.
The protest was led by Sunil Dimple, JWAM leader who also demanded unification of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh again as one J&K State like before.
Addressing protesters Dimple said that elections under J&K as UT are not acceptable.
He also demanded a separate Parliamentary Constituency for Jammu West area and restoration of Statehood to J&K with special status.
The JWAM leader claimed that BJP Government is telling lies that J&K people are happy with the political developments of August 5, 2019 wherein J&K was converted into Union Territory (UT) after the abrogation of Article 370.
He said that unemployment is highest in J&K at 21 per cent as per a survey.
Dimple appealed to all the political parties like NC, Congress, Apni Party, PDP and their leaders to get united on one platform for the united struggle for restoration Statehood to J&K with special status with PoJK and Gilgit-Baltistan as part of new J&K State before the assembly elections.
Harbans Tandon, Ram Kapoor, Chaman Pawar, Sanjay Nagraj, Rakesh Pandoh and others were also present in the protest demonstration.
