JAMMU, May 17: Jammu Province People Forum (JPPF) held protest against the statement given by the Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed regarding non feasibility of artificial lake in Jammu and A1IMS.
The protest was held under the leadership of Pavitar Singh, retd Judge.
While speaking, Pavitar Singh said that since inception of coalition Government, the discrimination with Jammu is increasing day by day. Every now and then anti-national in general and anti-Jammu statements in particular are given by the leadership who are voted for power, he stated.
He added that Jammuites have given full mandate to BJP in anticipation of good governance and betterment of the public residing in Jammu province, but it is very unfortunate that immediately after taking oath in the presence of national level leadership of BJP Mufti Mohammad Sayeed had given credit to militants as well as Pakistan for smooth conduct of elections in the State which was widely condemned by the masses, but the elected representatives kept mum.
“The coalition Government’s another move of bypassing Service Selection Board and Public Service Commission, a recruitment policy was mooted which also was widely condemned by the masses in general and youth in particular. The policy is nothing more than a sort of promotion of slavery for the coming generation. JPPF is of the firm opinion that if such a policy been implemented it will be opposed to the fullest extent to ensure that the same is rolled back”, Singh disclosed.
He said that the statement of CM regarding non feasibility of artificial lake in Jammu and non-construction of AIIMS in Jammu has also raised the temperature of Jammu province people, adding that it is nothing but discrimination with Jammu as the Kashmir centric leadership does not want to see any development of Jammu province and they are compelling us to agitate for separate Jammu.
“CM has failed to come up to the expectations of public of State and is talking of better relation with Pakistan. We suggest him to first concentrate on betterment of public of the State and then talk of better relation with Pakistan”, he added.
Among others present were Er MS Katoch, Working President, Inderjeet Khajuria, Senior Vice President, Gajan Singh, Vice President, ML Sharma, Finance Secretary, Amrit Magotra, Office Secretary, Avinash Bhatia, Chief Organiser, PR Slathia, etc.
