| Discrimination against Jammu region crosses all limits in BJP rule: Harsh Dev | | “46 Industrial Estates for Kashmir, 24 for Jammu” | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Jan 12: “Despite a highly discriminatory Industrial package having been announced by the GOI recently it is shocking that none of the senior leaders of BJP have responded till date to the public outcries against the alleged prejudicial treatment to Jammu with the motor mouths of the saffron brigade also having maintained a studied silence. It has been reported in media that out of 70 Industrial estates sanctioned for J&K UT, 46 are allocated for Kashmir Division and merely 24 fall in the kitty of the marginalized, incarcerated Jammu region. The proposed distribution being highly biased and objectionable, the Panthers Party seeks a fair deal for Jammu region with equal share in the said industrial package so announced by the GOI”. This was stated by Harsh Dev Singh JKNPP Chairman and former Minister while addressing a press conference in Jammu today.
Elucidating the details of allocation of the said Industrial estates as appearing in the media, Mr. Singh expressed dismay that out of 58 Industrial estates proposed to be set up by SICOP, 38 were proposed for Kashmir and merely 20 for Jammu. Likewise out of the 12 Industrial Estates to be established by SIDCO, 8 fell in Kashmir region and merely 4 in Jammu Division, he divulged.
Harsh Dev asserted that Jammu region was being administered the most obnoxious dozes of discrimination even after the abrogation of Art 370 and re-organization of the state with the centre and state govt seeming to be completely focused on Kashmir. The neglect of Jammu region under BJP rule has reached a stage where the govt educational institutions in Dogra heart-land are insisting for adoption of Kashmiri culture with reported directions issued to students of IIT Jammu to wear Kashmir, ‘Pherans’ with ‘Afghani caps’, rued Singh. Urging upon the Dogra scholars, intellectuals, members of civil society, social and political organizations to rise to the occasion to safeguard the interests of Jammu and its people, the NPP leader cautioned that any delay in the matter could result in irreparable damage. |
