Addressing to the gathering Vishal Manhas highlighted some issues of ReZ of Jammu. He alleged that State Government was discriminating with Jammu as far as regularization of ReZs of Jammu was concerned. He said the latest example of discrimination has come fore when Govt has regularized 440 Rehbar-e-Zirats of Kashmir divisions
Giving the details, he said that there are 1004 ReZ at Kashmir division and 1495 at Jammu division. As per Cabinet decision ReZ of both divisions are to be regularized in three equal phase which means out of 1004 at Kashmir 334 should have been regularized in first and same in second and third phase but keeping all norms on stake they have regularized 440 that is 106 more and similarly out of 1495 at Jammu 521 are to be regularized but here also they are regularizing 440. The list is awaited which is grave injustice and discrimination with Jammu.
Speaking on the occasion Jagdesh Dogra president Sanatan dharma Sabha warned the Governemnt that people will teach it a lesson in the coming Assembly poll for its discriminatory policies towards Jammu. He urged the people to stand up against it otherwise the coming generations will have to face this discrimination as well
Shri Katoch said that JPPF was committed to have local Vice Chancellor of Jammu University and Central University at Jammu which they got and the issue of ReZ is of very serious nature and therefore JPPF will extend its full co-operation and if required they will come on streets in support of ReZs of Jammu.
The leaders of all other organizations warned Govern-ment to mend its ways failing which the people of Jammu will be forced to launch a massive agitation.
Meanwhile, for discussing the situation arisen due to delay in publication of first list of regularized Rehbar-e-Ziraat as per Cabinet decision and consequent SRO in this regard, Rehbar-e-Ziraat organized an emergency meeting at Directorate of Agriculture Tallab Tillo Gole Pulli Jammu under the chairmanship of Dr Surinder Radotra, State president JKATA.
