JAMMU, Apr 1: Prof Bhim Singh, candidate for Jammu-Poonch parliamentary constituency and chief patron of National Panthers Party (NPP) asked the State and Central functionaries to concentrate on ameliorating basic problems faced by common masses in remote, hilly and far-flung areas of Akhnoor, Sunderbani, Nowshera, Muradpur and in and around border district of Rajouri.
Addressing workers meetings in these areas during election campaign tour, Prof Bhim Singh lambasted the traditional ruling parties NC, Congress, PDP and BJP, besides the politically motivated bureaucracy for ignoring far off villages in the State even in providing basic amenities like drinking water, power, medical facilities, proper road connectivity and ration commodities.
“Ground realities are different, from what propaganda is done by the ruling parties with help of derailed administration. Bureaucrats both in Civil and Police are totally politicized and biased towards the poor common masses including Gujjars, Bakerwals, weaker section of the society and un-employed frustrated youth,” Bhim Singh said, adding that much talked about welfare schemes for poor are only through on newspapers, DD, commercial channels etc.
Anita Thakur, State general secretary of JKNPP, Women Empowerment, who accompanied the party chief, vehemently criticized the State Government for up-rooting Women Commission Office in Jammu to accommodate State Law Commission without any cogent reason. She said that the poor and pathetic condition of women in the villages is deplorable and shameful for BJP slogan “Beti Bechao, Beti Padao”.
“Anti Women and Child functioning of the State administration can be judged by the recent order of Government asking State Women Commission to vacate the premises and hand over the position to recently constituted State Law Commission,” she added.
Others who spoke in the meetings include Thakur Virender Singh, State president – NPSU, Mushtaq Ahmed Choudhary, district president, Rajouri, Hoshiyar Kumar, vice president, Rajouri, Devinder Singh, general secretary, Rajouri, Pushpa Devi, district president Mahila Wing, Sangeeta Sharma, Zaheer Charak and Mukesh Sharma.
