JAMMU, July 12: J&K National Conference additional general secretary and former Minister, Ajay Kumar Sadhotra today launched a scathing attack on the BJP led Centre Government for unleashing a series of anti-people measures in the Union Territory which have made the lives of its residents miserable.
Sadhotra said this while addressing a public meeting at Tali Morh area in Janipur under Jammu North Constituency. He was the chief guest on the occasion whereas president, NC Central Zone (Jammu, Samba & Kathua) and former Minister Babu Rampaul presided over the meeting.
Provincial joint secretary Ankush Abrol was the guest of honor. Raghuvir Singh Manhas (Jammu district president Rural-A) also graced the occasion. The public meeting was organized by Dr Vikas Sharma, zonal secretary and coordinator Jammu district (urban) and Rajinder Kumar.
Sadhotra lambasted the BJP Government at Centre for its utter failure in addressing the grievances of people in J&K and said, “There is widespread resentment against the UT Government due to hike in charges of electricity, water and imposition of property tax.”
He assured the gathering that the NC Government will definitely cut down those charges and abolish the property tax so as to ease the life of the public. He also flayed the UT Government for stopping the widow pension and making the process of re-registration very cumbersome.
Sadhotra also raised finger on the intentions of the Centre Government vis-a-vis holding of Assembly elections in J&K. “BJP Government at Centre must keep its words and should not shy from elections in J&K. But, the announcement of polls must be preceded by restoration of full statehood to J&K,” he added.
Others who attended the meeting were Rahul Mahajan Zonal (vice-president), Hemraj (zonal joint secretary), Prof Harbans Lal, Arun Pal Singh (working president, NCSU), Kuldeep Raj Sharma, Charan Dass, Gulshan Kumar, Kewal Bhagat, Karan Singh, Shamsher Singh, Deep Kumar, Raj Kumar, Mohan Lal and Ajeet Kumar.
