He asserted that no effort on the part of BJP would succeed in weakening the ongoing movement in support of AIIMS for Jammu.
He said It is regrettable that their leadership failed them at each and every step to remain on the right side of their Kashmiri masters.
The speakers like K B Jandial (retd) IAS, Dr C L Gupta, President Amar Kshatriya Rajput Sabha, Narayan Singh, President, Hotel and Lodges Association, Inderjeet Khajuria, President Oil Tankers and Pump Owners Association, Anan Sharma, President Dalit Chetna Manch, Sham Lal Bassan, Doordarshan Approved Artists Association, Uttam Singh, working president, JPPF, M S Katoch, Senior Journalist Chaturvedi and Advocate Zaffar Ahmad from Poonch district also highlighted the acts of omission and commission on the part of the authorities and stated that the moment the AIIMS Coordination Committee is destined to be a grand success.
