JAMMU, June 21: Prof Bhim Singh, chief patron NPP concluded his four-day tour from Kashmir to Jammu and interacted with hundreds of NPP workers in the Valley and in Jammu region.
Prof Bhim Singh was accompanied by vice-president Masood Andrabi, general secretary Ms Anita Thakur, Young Panthers president Syed Rafiq Shah MLC, provincial president (Kashmir Province) Farooq Dar, Ramban District general secretary Sewa Singh Bali and several others senior leaders of the party.
After four days hectic interaction with the party workers and members of the Civil Society, Prof Bhim Singh said in the statement that there is no Government worth its name in the State. Almost all dispensaries are without doctors or compounders, 50% shortage of teachers in village schools, NREGA schemes have not been implemented since 2011, there is no traffic police on the roads and the highway from Jammu to Srinagar stands jam packed for hours, 35000 SPOs are being used as bonded labour in utter violation of the rules and human rights.
Only 20% voters in the Valley did cast their votes which clearly proves that the present Government does not enjoy public support and thus has no right to continue in office. He said that it is highly essential to involve the people in the Kashmir Valley in the electoral process and that is possible only when the elections are held under a neutral Government.
That is why, he pressed, dismissals of present Government to hold free and fair elections under Governor Rule is essential and important to involve the people of Jammu Pradesh, Kashmir Valley and Ladakh in the confidence building process.
