| Sikh leaders of J&K BJP express concern over neglect of community | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Oct 11: In a joint press release issued by several prominent BJP Sikh leaders of J&K through social media it is said that the Central Govt and UT administration of J&K is not paying any heed to the problems faced by them especially in Kashmir region with the result community feels to be ignored and neglected by both the governments of Centre and LG Administration here.
While referring to the issues and long pending demands of the community, the leaders expressed their anguish and resentment towards the present Govt over the non-redressal of genuine and deserving demands of the community.
They said that Sikh community of J&K had very high hopes from the Modi led Central Govt and the Abrogation of Article 370 and Article 35A was welcomed and supported by the community with this expectation that the minority benefits and status of a micro minority shall be extended to the community but ever since then the sentiments and emotions of the community are being sabotaged every now and then while extending the relief and other concessions to other minority communities who have migrated or not migrated from the UT.
BJP Sikh leaders said that this is the last and final communication to the Union Govt and LG administration on behalf of Sikh community of J&K that their genuine, justified and just few demands should be addressed on a priority basis.
While speaking about the demands, they said that the non-inclusion of Punjabi Language as official language of the UT, non-extension of Prime Minister’s employment package to Sikh community, non-extension of reservation in admissions of technical and professional colleges, non-inclusion of Sikhs in Pahari speaking reservation, no favours, no announcements and no mention of Sikh community of J&K UT while framing laws for the Kashmir displaced communities or Kashmiri non-migrated Pandits is a serious concern for the brave, true nationalists of the nation.
The Sikh leaders strongly urged upon the Central Govt and UT administration that the demands of Sikh community of UT, especially the sufferings of Kashmiri Sikh minority be addressed on the priority basis otherwise they are forced to adopt some aggressive measures in meeting out their demands.
