JAMMU, Apr 7: In the wake of the serious issues concerning Jammu Pradesh, a meeting of various associations of the civil society and prominent leaders of various organizations was held here today in the J&K High Court Bar Association Jammu (JKHCBAJ) office.
In the jam-packed meeting, which lasted for more than three and a half hours, all the leaders of the civil society held threadbare discussions and gave their valuable views and suggestions.
The meeting vowed for continuing the agitation under the leadership of JKHCBAJ president, BS Slathia till resolution of three major demands.
The demands raised include withdrawal of minutes of meeting/ illegal directions of Tribal Affairs Department, J&K, fair and independent CBI probe into Rassana murder case and deportation of illegal immigrants including Rohingyas and Bangladeshis from Jammu region. The speakers in one voice appreciated the selfless efforts of the members of JKHCBAJ who have always come forward and supported the genuine cause and demands of nationalist people of the region whenever the governments failed to redress the genuine grievances of the public.
The representatives of various organizations felt that the circumstances being created by the certain vested interests and supported by Kashmir centric politicians under a camouflage is a threat to the social fabric, brotherhood and harmony in the society. The people of Jammu are feeling betrayed as they had tried every political party, but injustice and discrimination with the people of Jammu is increasing day by day so much so that now the people are fearing for their security and safety.
In one voice they said that Rohingyas and Bangladeshis illegally settled in and around Jammu are serious threat to the people of Jammu. They accused the government of encouraging land grabbers by issuing communal directions in favour of particular community as also the nefarious designs of PDP to create wedge between the communities in Jammu. The various organizations of civil society unanimously proposed to hold a complete Jammu bandh and chakka jam on April 11 to awake the state government from deep slumber.
