JAMMU, Aug 6: Duggar Pradesh Party (DPP) held a meeting and condemned BJP Government for not giving full-fledge statehood to Jammu region as ‘Duggar Pradesh’ and kept it again with Kashmir.
Uday Chand, President DPP described it a biggest betrayal with the Jammu people. Even in this decision, the miseries of Jammu people will increase in many. DPP observed that all the three regions of state are totally different in culturally, geographically, lingually and having different political aspirations requires bifurcation into three not two.
Chand said the people of Jammu will continue their struggle for statehood and State subject provisions as it is important for the protection of culture, demography and various guarantees to the poor people as in some other States of the country especially in Himachal Pradesh and north east states.
He welcomed the decision for giving Union Territory status to Ladakh region and fulfilling their long pending demand.
He said while taking decision of bifurcation of Jammu and Kashmir, the Government of India observed its criminal silence over the area of Jammu and Kashmir State forcibly occupied by Pakistan and China which is not fair at all. In 73 years, national leadership never bothered or seen serious on the recovery of occupied areas of the State, he added.
DPP also condemned the way the administration and the Government of India put the J&K people in complete seize by imposing undeclared curfew.
The meeting was attended by Mohan Singh, Secretary General, Varsha Kapoor, General Secretary, Ram Singh Slathia and Kulveer Charak, Secretaries, Om Parkash Sharma, Ashok Singh Jasrotia, Choudhary Jamal Khan and Mangal Dass, District President, Jammu Rural.
