POONCH, Apr 22: Shamsher Hakla Poonchi prominent Gujjar leader and intellectual of the State said that the problems and need of Gujjar Bakerwals are quite different from other communities of the State. Language and culture of Gujjar community is also different than those of other communities of this State that is why community has its own peculiar position. Gujjar Bakerwal community is different and as such the community has a distinct identity.
He said all the efforts made by Central Government for the development of Gujjar and Bakerwal community of the State, have been deliberately obstructed by the State Government for the past many decades which resulted in their utter political, social, economical and educational backwardness.
Hakla made an appeal to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for special recruitment of Gujjars and Bakerwals in Indian Army, Border Security Force and Jammu and Kashmir Police. He also appealed him to sanction special developmental package for development and welfare of Gujjar Bakerwal of J&K. It would be only then that their economical, educational, political and social backwardness could be removed and this community of Gujjars Bakerwals may get due justice this way only and towards which their eyes are firmly focused.
