JAMMU, July 12: Provincial president of National Conference, Rattan Lal Gupta today strongly criticized the Central/J&K Government for unending stagnation in industrial development in Jammu and Kashmir.
The senior NC leader was addressing the meeting of Traders and Industries Wing of NC at Sher-e-Kashmir Bhawan, here today. The meeting was presided over by Vikram Puri (Chairman, Traders and Industries Wing, NC).
In a scathing attack on the leadership of the party in power, Rattan Lal Gupta accused Home Minister Amit Shah of backtracking on their promises made on August 5, 2019 to make J&K new hub of industries. He said the Government at the Centre/J&K has drastically failed to advance the industrial development of J&K beyond the signing of Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) worth thousands of crores, leading to growing frustration among the local populace and business community.
Rattan Lal Gupta also raised the issue of ending the age-old practice of Darbar Move leading to colossal losses of business communities of both Kashmir and Jammu provinces as the Government has no proposal to compensate for this gigantic loss of the traders, which has broken the back bone of the business community especially in Jammu.
The provincial president asserted that only NC has the solution and can provide the much sought after succor to the people of J&K because this political outfits knows the pulse of the people and also the problems and issues which they are confronting after the inception of ‘indifferent’ dispensation in the country in 2014, which has increased people’s woes manifold times instead of alleviating the same.
Sheikh Bashir (provincial secretary, NC), Bimla Luthra (former MLA), Laxmi Dutta and Satwant Kour Dogra (provincial president, women wing), Pardeep Bali (provincial secretary Jammu), Vijay Lochan (Chairman, SC Cell) and Rakesh Singh Raka (vice president, Central Zone) also spoke on the occasion.
On the occasion, some young traders/small scale industrialists joined. They were Anuj Sharma, Himanshu Sabarwal and Kannav Gupta.
