Prejudice with Jammu innate trait of Union Govt: Tony

Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, June 21: Whether it is BJP in power at Centre or any other party, the fate of people of Jammu is same as they have to face discrimination with each and every Government eyeing to appease Kashmiris, as if it was their innate trait to show more affection towards region on the other side of Pir Panchal.
This was stated by DDC Member Suchetgarh and convener J&K DDC Forum, Taranjit Singh Tony in a handout issued to media here, today.
The DDC member raised serious concern over Government again showing prejudice against the leadership of Jammu in the proposed All Party Meet as the numbers of political representatives being invited from Jammu are namesake and those from Kashmir are almost double. He said that it is strange that the BJP leadership never gets tired of calling Kashmiri politicians as ‘anti-nationals’ and even tagged their amalgam as ‘Gupkar-gang’ but when the time came to testify their call, the BJP Government preferred to appease Kashmiri leadership and ignored Jammu leadership.
