| Sham vows to take regional autonomy battle to logical conclusion | | Expresses concern over political appointments through backdoor during Guv’s Rule | |  Early Times Report
AKHNOOR, Dec 9: Reiterating his demand of granting regional autonomy to Jammu province to ensure equitable and balanced development in all regions and sub-regions of the state, former Minister and senior Congress leader Sham Lal Sharma today cautioned people against those forces which are hell bent to divide Jammu on the religious line. He argued that only regional autonomy would end discrimination with Jammu region.
Addressing a function to felicitate only elected Sarpanches and Panches of Akhnooor sub-division of Jammu district, Sham Lal said that it was high time for all pro-Jammu forces to come on same platform to launch a deciding battle for getting regional autonomy. "It is writing on the wall, sooner or latter Jammu will be regional autonomy", he predicted and asserted that Akhnoor is going to play an import role in shaping future of coming generation of Jammu region.
"History is testimony to the fact that foundation of Dogra dynasty, which ruled J&K for nearly 100 years, was laid at Jiapota at Akhnoor on the bank of the river Chenab when Maharaja Ranjeet Singh had coronate first Dogra ruler Maharaja Ghulab Singh", Sharma recalled.
"Battle to end discrimination with Jammu region will be taken to the logical conclusion", Sharma asserted but cautioned the people against leaders like Dr Farooq Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti, who are hell bent to divide Jammu on religious lines just to pursue 'divide and rule' policy in Jammu. "It is responsibility of every citizen of Jammu to frustrate evil designs of those who are trying to divide us on religious line", he said.
Former Minister also took Governor Satya Pal Malik to task for making political appointments in the state at the behest of BJP and described it as a sheer political opportunism of the ruling party. "It is glaring example of shamelessly violating all norms and set precedents. It is first time in the history that Governor is making political appointments", he said. |
