KATHUA, Sept 4: As a part of its `Jan Sampark Abhiyan’ Dogra Swabhiman Sangthan Party (DSSP) organized a massive rally in border village Kotpunnu and several other areas of Hiranagar constituency of Kathua today.
While addressing a mammoth gathering, former MP and founder Chairman of DSSP said that Dogras cannot afford to suffer at the cost of Kashmir anymore. He said that Dogras have always stood for the nation and waited for 70 years for political empowerment but the present regime shocked the entire Dogra community of Jammu province by reducing it mere into UT and still keeping it with Kashmir.
“We are happy that Ladakh has been given UT status though late, it’s long pending but Jammu has been put into darkness after abrogation of 370.
General secretary Dr Hari Dutt Shishu, while addressing the rally said that all strategic positions from top to bottom have been occupied by non- locals and its result is disastrous which multiplied the suffering of the Dogras.
Local officers are being demoralized by the outside higher officials but DSSP is all set to fight for the legitimate rights of Jammu people, he added.
Ex- MLA Kanta Andotra, several Corporators, Sarpanchs, Panchs including Bhagmal, Ex- Chairman Kathua Ch Rajinder Singh, BL Kandla, Deepak Jasrotia and Makhani Bandral also addressed the gathering.
