| Admin should not undermine power of peaceful protest: JKHCBAJ | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Sept 22: The unprecedented response which the Jammu bandh call has evoked, particularly from all the Bar Associations, and different sections of the society should act as an eye opener for the Union Territory Administration, said President Jammu and Kashmir High Court Bar Association, Jammu (JKHCBAJ) MK Bhardwaj. In a statement issued here today, JKHCBAJ president Bhardwaj said that the impact of bandh reflects the deep hurt in the hearts and minds of people of Jammu region on the step-motherly treatment being meted out to them particularly on the bread and butter issues. All sections of the society including lawyers, traders, youth, women, underprivileged and downtrodden and above the farmers should be complemented for making the bandh successful and peaceful.
JKHCBAJ profusely thank the lawyers' fraternity and different Bar Associations of Jammu region for whole heartedly responding to our call and supporting the bandh. It is heartening to note that the lawyers fraternity, which has always been on the forefront to fight for public causes, have set a new example of registering their protest in the most disciplined manner as also people of different sections of the society and members of a large number of associations and organizations. "I on behalf of the JKHCBAJ and its office-bearers express my gratitude to the fellow lawyers for not only responding positively to the bandh call but adding to the glory of the fraternity through their peaceful conduct," said Bhardwaj.
He said the strongest weapon in a democracy is the Gandhian way of peaceful protest which was reflected in the manner today's bandh was observed. The Administration should not undermine the power of this peaceful protest and treat it as a wakeup call and desist from pursuing anti-Jammu people policies.
"We appeal to the Administration to revisit its decisions, be it those affecting the legal fraternity, or traders, farmers, youth and women, and address their grievances speedily lest they are forced to pursue further action," he said. |
