Early Times Report
Jammu, June 27: Cutting across party leader all social, political and religious leaders have issued statement to condole untimely and sudden demise of senior advocate Bhupinder Singh Slathia but unfortunately not even a single official handout was issued by BJP leaders on death of leader who always stood for Jammu like rock.
On social media some BJP leaders condoled Slathia’s demise but the party has not issued any formal statement and this attitude of the Saffron Party has sent a wave of anger among people of Jammu.
From Lieutenant Governor to Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha all condoled the sad demise of Slathia.
Lieutenant Governor Girish Chandra Murmu condoled the sad demise of B S Slathia and described him as a prominent public figure who would always be remembered for his services to the legal fraternity.
The Lt Governor has prayed for peace to the departed soul and expressed solidarity with the bereaved family members.
B S Slathia was known for raising Jammu-centric issues and remained at the forefront of several pro-Jammu agitations.
Considered close to former chief minister and senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad, he had been one of the prominent faces leading the 2008 Amarnath land row agitation in Jammu and at times had differed with Azad on issues pertaining to Jammu.
Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha, Azad expressed his heartfelt condolences on Slathia’s passing. “I am deeply saddened by the sad demise of Shri Slathia. A leading lawyer from Jammu, he was the Bar Council president for two terms. He was a vocal proponent for the development of Jammu region. In his demise, Jammu has lost a strong voice. He was actively involved in social service throughout his life,” said Azad.
The National Conference also expressed deep grief over Slathia’s demise, describing it a great loss for Jammu region and the legal fraternity.
Senior National Conference leaders stated that Slathia was one of the most vocal legal practitioners who took keen interest in the issues pertaining to the Jammu region. “He was respected by his colleagues and his death has left a vacuum that would be hard to fill,” they said.
