| Samiti says no to poll campaign | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Nov 1: In a bid to cash in on the Jammu agitation, the BJP may have counted its prospects too high by fielding agitation martyr Kuldeep Dogra's wife as a candidate in Bishnah but the Samiti has declared its intentions of not campaigning in favour of any party or candidate.
The Shri Amarnath Yatra Sangarsh Samiti (SAYSS), which spearheaded the over two-month long agitation on Amarnath land row, today said it will not campaign for any candidate in the upcoming seven-phased assembly polls in Jammu and Kashmir.
"We will not campaign for any candidate, including Shilpi Verma—wife of Kuldeep Verma who committed suicide during the agitation," co-convenor Tilak Raj Sharma said here.
The Samiti has no political agenda but will prefer coming to power those individuals or political outfits which will work for removal of "injustice and discrimination" meted out to the Jammu province, Sharma said.
When his attention was drawn to the October 31 deadline set by the Samiti to the State Government to fulfill the commitments agreed between their committee and a panel set up Governor N N Vohra, Sharma said the organisation will hold a meeting within a day or two to discuss the future course of action. |
