It was not the tradition in Jammu that women and children would come on the streets and fight not only for the national cause but also for their civil and political rights. The fact that 1.82 lakh women courted arrest during the course of agitation has established that the women-folk is committed to make supreme sacrifices.

Regretting that Congress and the PDP parties which are headed by women have never bothered to women their rightful place in the society or in the decision making bodies.
She said the Jagriti Sammelan will expose the gender bias, rising prices, discrimination against Jammu region in the matter of admissions and employment. She said BJP Mahila Morcha is right in denouncing the state government as the youth of Jammu got a paltry 12.50 per cent share in MBBS course this year while the rare of employment was as high as 69.75 per cent.
