JAMMU, Mar 11: Expressing serious concern over the purported instructions to the Government machinery not to take action against illegal settlement of land grabbers in the guise of tribal community, Jammu Kashmir Freedom Fighter Association, Shri Ram Sena along with several other organizations today protested against BJP-PDP Govt terming the development as Government sponsored move for demographic change of Jammu region.
Speaking to media persons on the occasion, Shri Ram Sena State president, Rajiv Mahajan said that in wake of the controversial decision, nobody in general and Jammu in particular will provide an inch of land to Gujjars for constructing their temporary homes and for their cattle fearing the encroachment of their land. This decision will lead to trust deficit and hit communal harmony existing since decades, he added.
Mahajan appealed the Gujjar community to come on roads to protest the decision as a deliberate attempt was being made to pit them against Dogras at the cost of their survival and existence in Jammu. He said Dogras are not against Gujjar community but any attempt to change the demography of Jammu with such decision will be protested and agitated.
