JAMMU, May 5: Announcing the resolution of JKNPP to carry the ‘fight for Jammu’ slogan to every nook and corner, Chairman of the party and former minister Harsh Dev Singh said that protests and demonstrations would continue to be held in various districts and tehsil headquarters to create awareness amongst the common masses regarding the perpetuation of bias against Jammu region by BJP-PDP Govt.
He said that Jammu’s cause shall reverberate in the streets of New Delhi with Panthers Party organizing rallies in the Union capital to expose BJP’s betrayal with the people of this region.
Addressing media persons here today Harsh Dev said though it is too early to write the obituary of BJP in the State but the coming events have started casting their nasty shadows. He said that by compromising on the issue of AIIMS, the BJP has proved that it can go to any extent to remain in power. He further said that by taking AIIMS to Kashmir the PDP has extracted its pound of flesh from the people of Jammu region to grant BJP the status of a junior partner in the Govt. He regretted that not only the surrender on AIIMS but all other promises made by the BJP during Assembly Elections have proved to be hyperbola.
He said that all solemn pledges of BJP for empowerment of Jammu, holding of delimitation of Assembly and Parliamentary seats, getting Rs 44,000 crore package from Govt of India for flood relief, State Subject rights to West Pak Refugees, Dogra Certificate to Jammu youth, Ek Nishan Ek Vidhan, voting rights in Assembly and local bodies to WPRs, State Subject rights to children of daughters of J&K married outside the State, grant of five seats to PoJK migrants, abrogation of Art 370 besides others have all tapered down to the slogan of ‘good governance’.
Lambasting the surrender of BJP, Mr Singh said that NPP would organize protests and demonstrations in front of the Parliament this week to highlight the Saffron Party’s betrayal with the Jammu cause. He said that the party would meet the national leaders in New Delhi to garner support for restoration of AIIMS to Jammu region and for revocation of the new recruitment policy which has created huge resentment and antagonized the unemployed youth of the State.
Senior leaders Balwant Singh Mankotia and Yash Paul Kundal also spoke on the occasion.
