The Party appealed to all Dogra’s of Jammu province to boycott the so called Hindu political party and its all leaders who are becoming a mouthpiece of LG administration in promoting the liquor in Jammu province. “Even RSS has tight-lipped on the burning issues of Jammu province,” he said.
They appealed to the public to raise their voice against liquor policy of the LG administration and stand with National Awami United Party which is in favour of blanket ban of liquor in the Union Territory as par Gujarat State.
It urged the LG administration that there are so many sources to earn revenue for running a Government and stop indulging the young generation into the mud of the ‘Nasha’.
NAUP asked the administration if this is smart city plan, we the people of Jammu and Kashmir not accepting these types of evils which ruin our youth and appealed to withdraw the order immediately.
