Early Times Report

Ramnagar, Feb 21: With the Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti having held pubic grievances camps in almost all Districts of the state, Harsh Dev Singh JKNPP Chairman and Former Minister today questioned the neglect of District Udhampur from the itinerary of the CM. He said that primarily being an opposition bastion, District Udhampur was being ignored in development and allied matters for political reasons with opposition workers also being harassed and terrorized. He said that with the BJP Ministers and its hostile leadership averse to the development needs and other genuine concerns of the District, the CM too seemed to have ignored the District at the behest of BJP. "Are you not the CM of District Udhampur?" Questioned Harsh to Mehbooba lodging his strong protest with regard to neglect of the 2nd largest District. He was addressing huge public meeting in Ramnagar Town today.
Urging upon the Chief Minister to hold Public Darbar in Udhampur also on the analogy of other Districts, Singh said that it would enable her to have a firsthand assessment of the ground situation besides the working of District Administration that was being used by vested interests in the govt to subserve their political interests leading to alienation and unrest amongst the general masses.
Expressing concern over the utter neglect and deprivation of the areas that had voted for Panthers Party in last Assembly elections in the constituencies of Ramnagar, Udhampur and Chenani of District Udhampur, Singh said that several officers had themselves confessed to have received instructions in this regard from BJP leadership.
Apart from the neglect of Panthers' bastions in the matter of development on political considerations, the Police Administration had registered dozens of FIRs against Panthers Party workers for highlighting their grievances through protests and demonstrations. In his letter to the state Governor and Chief Minister, Singh said that not only were the democratic rights of opposition being trampled upon in District Udhampur but all those who dared to raise their voice against injustice and deprivation were being booked under false and frivolous criminal cases by a biased administration at the behest of BJP Ministers and its bankrupt leadership.
Urging upon the Chief Minister to personally take stock of the grievances of the diverse sections of society, Singh said that being head of the govt she was expected to ensure justice to all irrespective of their social or political affiliations. Later the JKNPP activists torched the effigy of BJP at Bus stand Ramnagar accusing it of having promoted a culture of corruption, mal-governance and anarchy in Ramnagar.
