JAMMU, Oct 26: President Sainik Samaj Party (SSP), JKUT Colonel SS Pathania (retd) has urged the Union Government to end the discrimination, exploitation and oppression of last 73 years by the Kashmir regime.
In a statement, Pathania said that the people of Jammu had lots of hopes from the ruling dispension post abrogation of Article 370 and 35 A, but after more than one year, the hopes of justice, equality and good governance stands shattered and people of Jammu region are truly angry, desperate and frustrated.
“Gupkar alliance is a congregation of opportunists, anti national parties and individuals. Their inclination towards China and Pakistan is condemnable and suitable cognizance needs to be taken of their display of utter contempt to the constitution and Indian flag”, he said, adding that recently framed Gupkar alliance has an evil and sinister design and pose a grave threat to the security and sovereignty of our nation. Overtly Gupkar alliance declaration is to restore Article 370 and 35 A, but covertly their aim is to polarize Kashmir people on religious line and have a clean sweep in the valley, to form a Government as and when elections are held, he added.
“Mathematical model post delimitation will be in their favour and they will be in a position to muster two third majority with no dependence on Jammu region. Also, considering the vastness of both the regions and its geographical lay out, managing it as one Union Territory, on permanent basis is not possible and will adversely affect the development and governance in the long run”, he added.
Pathania said that it is imperative that safeguard provisions against the discrimination, exploitation and oppression by Kashmir regime against the people of Jammu region can only be effective if Jammu Province is made a separate State. This will also ensure development, good governance and economical prosperity, he added.
He urged the people of Jammu to get united and request Government to consider their demand for a separate State keeping in mind the religious, ethnic and demographic differences between the two regions.
