Early Times Report Jammu, Mar 2: Dogra Swabhimaan Sanghthan President Choudhary Lal Singh on Saturday batted for separate Jammu State. "People of Jammu have been always treated second class citizens because of the Kashmiri dominance and the only solution to the present crisis of the state is to redesign it with Jammu as separate state and Ladakh as UT with Doda, Kishtwar, Ramban, Banihal and Poonch, Rajouri as separate Divisions of Jammu state," said Singh while addressing a gathering during his visit to bordering villages to take stock of the ground situation in face of the ongoing tension on the border. He added that it is the failure of the successive governments that people of the border area are still in pathetic condition despite the fact that they are the major contributor in the growth of the Economy of the State. He further said that, it is unfortunate that people of this region who always stood by the nation, suffered because of their nationalism which is evident from the fact that New Delhi sacrificed the interest of the people of Jammu at the cost of Kashmir. Why the people of Jammu who have given massive mandate for the popular government, should face the Presidential rule, he remarked.
