JAMMU, Feb 14: Continuing membership drive in RS Pura, today organized by JKPCC SC Department Chairman, Karan Bhagat, JKPCC chief Ghulam Ahmad Mir along with working president Raman Bhalla attacked the BJP-led Central Government for allegedly failing to protect people’s jobs and lands in the Union Territory.
Lambasting the Government, he claimed that without an elected Ggovernment, Jammu and its people were being neglected and overlooked. Mir claimed that “today democracy in the Union Territory is facing onslaught from no other than the ruling party itself. Ideally, political and ideological differences should have been put aside while dealing with the sensitive region,” he said. The major stress of the Government should have been on assuaging misery of the unemployed youth who have grown up in conflict.
Mir expressed utter disappointment over BJP’s lip service regarding burning issues of J&K and termed their Governance as futile exercise to reach out to the common man and address public issues. He said BJP Govt is turning a blind eye towards the apprehensions and concerns of people of J&K, especially Jammu region. Taking a dig at Union Govt, Mir claimed that Jammu region is reeling under shortage of various basic requirements but Govt is unmoved. He said Govt lacks approach which is based on consistency, clarity, conviction and creating only mess making people to suffer unnecessarily without any fault of theirs.
Bhalla pointed out that there was total chaos and confusion among people as BJP leadership has failed to remove peoples’ apprehensions. “On the one hand, there is complete uncertainty in J&K, while on the other hand people are confronting with failure of the administration to solve day today problems”, he said, adding that various parts of J&K are facing scarcity of basic amenities and dilapidated condition of lanes.
“Even after considerable time since Panchayat elections, the development activities in rural areas have come to a standstill due to non-availability of funds. Panchayats are virtually defunct and rural populace is crying for development,” Bhalla said.
He alleged that Back to Village Programme’ of the Union Government turned merely flop show as the works projected by different Panchayats and local villagers across the Jammu and Kashmir during three phase of Back to Village Programme’ could not be implemented till date. Panchayats are not being taken into confidence or involved in the programme. He reiterated party’s pledge to continue his crusade against the discrimination unless all the aspirations of the people were addressed and fulfilled in letter and spirit.
NSUI National president Neeraj Kundan also spoke on the occasion besides Ex-MP TS Bajwa, Manmohan Singh, Gurdarshan Singh, Suresh Dogra, Gajan Singh, Pranav Shagotra and others.
