JAMMU, July 18: Jammu Province Bachao Manch (JPBM) has expressed concern over the delay in Assembly election in J&K and demanded restoration of Statehood with land and job security for the people of J&K.
In a press conference here today JPBM Chairman, Ashok Sharma has said that the ruling dispensation is deliberately delaying the restoration of Statehood to J&K and ignoring political aspirations of the people is the mockery of democracy.
“The unnecessary delay in Assembly elections has given rise to a feeling of alienation among the people that needs to be addressed at the earliest.”
Ashok Sharma also said that the redressal of basic issues including regularisation of daily wagers, ASHA workers, SPOs, ReT teachers, contractual, ad-hoc, community participation workers and others engaged under various schemes have been totally disdained.
“We have requested the President of India to appoint a Judicial Commission headed by some retired Supreme Court Judge or Chief Justice of some High Court to probe the killings of Jawans and civilians by the terrorists that started from Dangri (Rajouri) and continued till date,” he continued.
Ashwani Sharma, senior leader JPBM, Dr. Kuldip Sharma, chief spokesperson and Kailash Nath also spoke on the occasion.
