JAMMU, Mar 12: Provincial president Jammu and J&K National Conference (JKNC) for Jammu, Rattan Lal Gupta has asserted that National Conference will take its fight pertaining to the issues of Jammu and Kashmir to the National Capital unitedly with the other opposition parties and ensure that the struggle reaches its logical conclusion.
He expressed this while addressing a workers meeting at Bateda in Bhalwal, Nagrota constituency here today. The meeting was organised by Kuldeep Sharma.
The senior NC leader said that the people of Jammu and Kashmir are confronted with multiple problems as they have been the worst sufferers during the BJP rule especially post Article 370 abrogation and re-organization of J&K with the people being deprived of the rights to franchise for so many years now. He said that the harassment of the people of this sensitive region at the hands of the proxy BJP’s J&K Administration has reached its peak with none to hear to their woes.
Gupta said that while the Assembly elections, Statehood, unemployment, eviction drive, Property Tax, Hike in electricity charges and the recruitment scams are the most serious issues as a result of which the people are being deprived of their very basic rights.
“Since there has been no positive response of the J&K Administration to address these serious issues despite having been brought to the notice of the concerned authorities including the Lt Governor Manoj Sinha, therefore the National Conference headed by Dr Farooq Abdullah has decided along with other parties in the All Party Meet to intensify this crucial fight for the people of J&K by taking it to the National Capital Delhi. He added that this decision has been taken especially in view of LG Administration’s arrogant and adamant attitude on every issue.
Provincial Secretary Bashir Ahmed said that only NC is the secular party in letter and spirit and has proved its mettle as bringing welfare and prosperity to the people during its rule. He appealed to the people to further support and strengthen National Conference.
Vijay Lochan, Provincial president SC Cell in his address, stated that NC will fight for protecting the rights of weaker sections in J&K as they are the worst effected people especially post Article 370 abrogation.
During the meeting, several Panches and prominent youth of the area from different political parties joined the National Conference.
