JAMMU, Feb 3: While addressing a meeting of District Congress Committee (DCC), Jammu Urban, Vikram Malhotra President DCC criticized the BJP Government at the Centre and the LG Administration of ignoring the rights and aspirations of the people of the UT, especially the people of Jammu region.
He said that even after 6 months of dissolution of the erstwhile Dogra State of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh, there is no clear policy towards the domicile protection and job security of the youth of the J&K.
