JAMMU, May 22: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) today organized a mammoth ‘Tiranga Rally’ in Jammu against drugs menace and social evils.
The Rally, which was aimed at creating awareness among the youth regarding drugs abuse and its evil effects on society, started from Digiana Ashram and after passing through Shastri Nagar, Gandhi Nagar and Bahu Plaza, concluded at Bathindi. It was organized by Raj Kumar Goyal (vice chairman, Trade Union) and Parvinder Singh Happy (senior AAP leader).
Speaking on the occasion Goyal said that drug addiction is increasing at an alarming rate in J&K and has become a serious threat in the shape of narco-terrorism. “The alarming situation can be gauged from the fact that not only cities and towns in the UT, but even small villages are not left untouched by the drug mafia, which has spread its network throughout the UT. AAP has made it a policy decision to end the drug menace in J&K”, said Goyal.
Goyal further said that AAP is receiving much attention and with massive win in Punjab, the party is trying to focus on J&K now and is making efforts to strengthen its basic structure before making any policy document. We will come up with a policy document in the next few months and till then aim is to strengthen the party, he added.
On the occasion, Parvinder said, “AAP is overwhelmed with the response of the people in the rally. It proves that common masses want an alternative to the existing political parties who have failed miserably on the expectations of the people. He further elaborated that the focus of AAP is to create awareness and strengthen the roots of the Party to ensure good governance in future”.
The rally was attended by Harjot Singh Bains (cabinet minister of Punjab), Gourav Sharma (Prabhari AAP J&K), Pardeep Mittal, Manish Sinha, T S Tony, Balwant Singh Mankotia, Om Parkash Khajuria, Tanveer Hussain and other party leaders.
