REASI, Nov 16: JKPCC president G A Mir has lashed out at BJP and Modi Government for fleecing the common man through tax terrorism and playing the politics of hatred in the society which is dangerous for the pluralistic society.
Leading a protest rally and addressing a large gathering of people as part of the ongoing “Jan Jagran Abhiyan” against the BJP Government here today, the PCC president said that huge assets and infrastructure created by previous Governments have been put on sale by the Modi Government besides making the life of common people miserable through heavy taxes.
He said that the wrong economic policies of Modi Government have derailed the robust economy of the country handed over to it by the previous UPA Government, leading to unprecedented hike and large scale unemployment in the Country. The people are facing the brunt of the huge taxes as the Modi Government is passing on the burden to the common people, he added.
Mir said that people of Jammu and Kashmir have been deprived of their identity status and rights due to arbitrary decision of downgrading of historic Dogra State for which people should punish BJP through their power of ballot. The jobs, lands and resources of the people of J&K have been offered to outside people at the cost of locals and youth who are without jobs.
“BJP has nothing to offer to the people of J&K except divert their attention through their divisive & diversionary mode of politics,” he said and asked the people to reject BJP and the opportunistic forces dancing to the tune of BJP for the sake of individual favour or lust of power.
The rally organized by DCC Reasi was led by Rajesh Sadhotra and attended by vice president JKPCC Raman Bhalla, former MLA Balwan Singh, Sewa Dal president Vijay Sharma Babbi, OBC Department chairman Suresh Dogra, SC Department chairman Karan Bhagat and others.
Speaking on the occasion, Raman Bhalla expressed serious concern over the various issues especially the joblessness and inflation and said Congress Party won’t compromise on people problems, it will continue fight against the Centre’s wrong policies towards the people at all levels. He asked the people to oppose the wrong policies of the BJP and force the Government through democratic means to shun its anti-people, anti-poor and anti-youth policies.
Balwan Singh said that arbitrary decision of August 5, 2019 disbanding and downgrading the State was against the wishes of all people and needs to be reviewed to honour the sentiments of the people and settle the unrest amongst entire population. He demanded immediate restoration of statehood and a democratically elected Government in J&K.
