JAMMU, Sept 24: Joint Action Committee of all the frontal organizations of SCs, STs, OBCs including socio-religious groups, retirees, youth and women, has appealed to their members to vote in large number against the political dispensations who believe in false sloganeering, promises and misleading the masses through advertisements in media only regarding their agenda of development and end of terrorism in J&K post abrogation.
They said that ground reality of development and end of terrorism is entirely opposite to what both Central and JKUT government under Narender Modi claim. Such repeated attempts are only misleading these reserved categories with sole attempt of luring their votes. The agenda/manifesto of all the recognized political parties in J&K more so BJP, is bundle of lies and have nothing for the welfare of these masses. If the pre-poll alliance of Congress and National Conference come to power in J&K, we hope and also advise them to focus their developmental agenda for the overall welfare of masses and in particular SC, STs , OBCs without false sloganeering and promises like BJP.
Prof GL Thapa, working president), while elaborating on various issues said that in 25 points Sankalp Patar of BJP, at serial No 16 they have ensured reservation in promotions for SCs/STs and transfer policy of all employees serving in Kashmir valley but what they have done in last ten years, should be explained first. Their LG never bothered to meet the representatives of SCs, STs.and OBCs in spite of multiple requests.
Mohinder Bhagat, general secretary while countering the false narratives of BJP JKUT Prabharis said their senior SC/ST/OBC Morcha leaders who are having no mass base are trying to mislead these masses on the basis of sub castes also, in the matter of reservation and many other issues. He said that all these leaders are speaking lie after lie during election campaigns.
