'Jammu not a doormat; Delhi responsible for all miseries'
Verdict of the civil society

Early Times Report
JAMMU, May 25: Civil society in Jammu has finally recognized the gravity of the situation and the dangers facing their region. They have realized that the people of Jammu province have already wasted precious time and that they would lose everything in case they do not assert and create Kashmir-like situation that forces New Delhi to look towards the Kashmiri people, barring internally-displaced Kashmiri Hindus, and address all of their reasonable and unjustifiable concerns at the cost of the people of Jammu and Ladakh.
Many active civil society members in Jammu have come to the conclusion, and very rightly, that "it is the Indian political class that is responsible for all the Jammu's woes" and that "if the people of the region are to obtain their due share in the governance of the state as part and parcel of the Indian Society, they have to fight out those who control levers of power in New Delhi".
"Kashmiri leadership has been doing what it is expected of. We are not surprised over the anti-Jammu stance of the Kashmiri leadership. Our real enemy is New Delhi, which in its desperate attempt to please Kashmiri Muslims, has consistently sacrificed our genuine interests," they have been saying in the meetings they have been holding to discuss their plight and find ways and means to defeat the anti-Jammu forces wherever and whosoever they are.
"For decades, the people of Jammu have been fooled in the name of national interest, denied their due share in services, infra structure development, due representation in legislatures through series of conspiracies. The list can be stretched ad-nausim…It is time to cry 'Enough is enough' and stand up to be counted. We must launch the campaign for restoring the self respect of our people and securing our legitimate rights from here and now? Say so loud and clear for the entire world to hear and take notice. Jammu has awoken," they have been saying, adding that Jammu is not a doormat.
Stop using Jammu as a doormat to clean your shoes to enter the drawing room of Kashmir. We shall not tolerate this. The people of Jammu will henceforth determine what is in the national interest and act accordingly. Delhi has no power of attorney from us to speak on our behalf. We are capable of speaking for our selves," they, in fact, have been saying.
That the Jammu civil society has of late become somewhat active augurs well for the region. Indeed, there is no political party in Jammu region which has the audacity to take up the people's cause. All the political players in Jammu are in one way or the other affiliated with Kashmiri parties for personal reasons. Even those who like in the BJP who got mandate from Jammu have joined the anti-Jammu struggle going on in Kashmir. They have ditched their constituency. The situation has reached a point that certain former ministers from Jammu go to Srinagar to participate in the anti-national rallies. Take, for example, the participation of at least two Jammu-based Congress ministers in the rally organized in Srinagar by the JKPCC chief Ghulam Ahmad Mir against the demand of ex-soldiers from J&K seeking establishment of Sainik Colonies in Kashmir.
All in all, it can be said that the Jammu civil society has finally woken up from its slumber. There is no doubt that it will assert and assert massively as the situation in Jammu province is deteriorating with each passing moment with the irresponsible BJP leaving no stone unturned to abuse, taunt and insult the people of Jammu province.
