JAMMU, Apr 24: Working president of JKPCC, Raman Bhalla today said that unemployment and inflation in Jammu and Kashmir is all time high which has pushed people towards starvation and the financial health of the people is getting worse with every passing day.
While interacting with prominent persons of RS Pura in Jammu South constituency, Bhalla said Congress has always played the role of unifying force in sensitive J&K, having regional, religious and linguistic and cultural diversities. He said the J&K has suffered electoral losses also because of the capabilities of rival parties to exploit different kinds of emotions of the people.
Bhalla said people should not get carried away by the negative forces who are trying to create division and hatred in the State. Former minister demanded special recruitment in army and other Central paramilitary forces for the border area people. He hit out at the BJP for misleading people on every count just to attain power but didn’t care about urges and aspirations of the people. He also criticized the ruling Government for its failure to provide basic amenities to the people of J&K. He asserted that the people of J&K are suffering due to power scarcity, and potable water.
Cong leader said that J&K has witnessed massive destruction during decade’s long turmoil and rising unemployment is a major concern. He urged upon the Government to secure jobs of Jammu and Kashmir for local youth. He also demanded special employment package for the youth of Jammu and Kashmir and said it is the duty of the government to address the unemployment issue immediately.
He lambasted previous BJP government in the state for exploiting the daily wagers in various departments for not fulfilling their long time pending genuine demands. He said due to callous and non-serious attitude of governments families of daily wagers across J&K are facing a starvation-like situation.
Bhalla asked the party activists and block functionaries to gear up their activities to address public issues. He said that all the BCC functionaries must reach up to the people in their respective areas and project their issues. He said that people are now fed up of the BJP lead dictatorial regime. Common man was suffering in the hands of the administration which has adopted an adamant behaviour and is working on the lines which is completely anti- public.
