JAMMU, June 18: Alleging that BJP Government has left people of Jammu & Kashmir in complete despair, JKPCC Working President Raman Bhalla said that statehood is the biggest issue of J&K and the Congress will do everything possible to grant the same to J&K.
“Congress Party is with the people of J&K and will do everything to make sure that J&K gets full Statehood,” he said while interacting with people of Seora Panchayat and adjoining areas in Bishnah constituency on Sunday .
Bhalla said BJP snatched rights and statehood of the people and since then outsiders are ruling J&K while the administration doesn’t listen to people’s problems. Locals losing jobs and unemployment in J&K, especially in Jammu is highest in the country, he added.
Bhalla also slammed Govt for its failure to release pension of weaker sections, who are struggling for their survival. He expressed dismay over the Government directive which forced these people in distress and rush from one Government office to another to get requisite documents such as Domicile Certificate, Age Certificate, Aadhaar and Disability Certificate to register themselves on SUGAM portal to avail the social welfare pension scheme. He said all types of beneficiaries, even those who have applied fresh on SUGAM portal, are without pension. “The present J&K administration is leaving no effort to harass the handicapped people,” he alleged.
Bhalla further alleged that the entire trade in J&K is being controlled by the outsiders and there is no one to listen to people’s problems. He also castigated the J&K administration for the plight of poor people. “In J&K, the land of poor people is being taken away and there is no one to listen to their concern,” he said.
Prominent among those present on the occasion include Sarpanch Rinku Langeh, Gurnam Singh, Jagjit Singh, Ghara Singh, Lakhvinder Singh, Monohar Lal Mottan, Deepu Sarpanch, Murad Ali, Miya Choudhary besides others.
Meanwhile Bhalla has demanded immediate restoration of electricity in affected areas after wind storm.
