JAMMU, Feb 16: Rattan Lal Gupta, National Conference Provincial President for Jammu, has condemned the Govt for the alleged wide gap between its speech and action as the administration continues to serve notices to petty shopkeepers and poor people for eviction despite assurances by LG and Home Minister to spare needy.

Asserting that the Government was doing gross injustice with poor by depriving them of shelter and livelihood, the NC leader said that National Conference will not tolerate any such injustice with the people and if the Govt does not stop serving notices to the aforesaid people and withdrawing of all notices served to them, NC will stand with such victimized poor people and fight for their justice.
