Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Nov 16: Accusing the Government for undermining the grass-root democratic institutions by deferring polls, J&K National Conference observed that fearing defeat the party in power has been relying on unfounded alibis to deny the people their right to exercise franchise for holding power.
A meeting of Jammu District Urban NC unit was held at party office under the chairmanship of Chander Mohan Sharma, president Jammu District Urban. In the meeting, Ajay Kumar Sadhotra, additional general secretary of JKNC, Rattan Lal Gupta Provincial president for Jammu, Sheikh Bashir Ahmed, Pardeep Bali, Ayub Malik, Abdul Gani Telil, Vijay Lochan, Satwant Kour Dogra, Harshvardhan Singh and Ankush Abrol were present.
Sadhotra said the people’s suffering under the present Government as authoritative dispensation is taking decisions on its own without taking care of the people’s aspirations. He said that people never felt so bad under any regime as they feel today under the so-called `Achhe Din Sarkar’.
Rattan Lal Gupta said that there is a big difference in what the BJP Government speaks and what it executes on ground. He said saying that democracy is under siege under the incumbent Government is in no way wrong because population in J&K is feeling suffocated under the present proxy rule of the Central Government in which there is no one to listen to the plight of common man as directions have been broadcasted from New Delhi and implemented in J&K, with no say of people or even the local representatives including those belonging to the ruling party also as number of times BJP leadership raised the issue before its higher command.
Expressing shock and grief over the tragic incident, Gupta said that Government should improve road infrastructure on ground because such tragedies are the testimony to the fact that a lot more has to be done to stop deaths on roads as people are struggling to cope up with poor edifice and insensitive Babugiri prevalent in J&K today
Senior leaders Raghvir Singh Manhas, Lakhshmi Datta, Dilshad Malik, Rakesh Singh, Rashida Begum, Som Raj Taroch, Dr Vikas Sharma, Farman Ali, Anoop Sharma, Shabir Sambyal and others were also present.
