| JKPYC stages protest against unabated price hike of fuels | | Teach BJP a lesson for brazen loot: Udhay Chib | | 
EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Oct 19: Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Youth Congress (JKPYC) today staged a unique and strong protest against the continuous hike in fuel prices across the nation here today.
A large number of Youth Congress activists and workers led by Udhay Bhanu Chib, President JKPYC, assembled outside a petrol pump and handed over tax amount of Rs 65 on one litre petrol to the people coming to petrol pumps to get their vehicles filled with the fuel. It is pertinent to mention here that consumers were handed over the cash equivalent of tax levied by Jammu and Kashmir Administration on the petrol purchased by them.
While talking to media at the site of protest, JKPYC President, Udhay Bhanu Chib said that today’s unique protest against the BJP Govt has been organized to make the consumers aware about the brazen loot to which the incumbent Union Govt has resorted to by imposing tax on fuels like petrol and diesel. He said that a consumer today has to pay around Rs 105 per litre for petrol out of which Rs 65 is the tax imposed that goes into BJP Govt’s coffers. Moreover if the other duties are also taken into consideration then the basic cost of petrol per litre for the Govt is just Rs 40. This clearly exposes the anti-consumer intentions of the BJP Govt.
Hitting out at the BJP government for its “total failure” to handle the Kashmir situation, Uday Chib cautioned the Centre to wake up to contain the worsening situation in Kashmir.
"It is very unfortunate and highly condemnable and has caused sense of insecurity and fear in the minds of innocent civilians, especially minority community and non-locals. The government must wake up to the situation and ensure the safety and security of the innocent people, especially the minority community who are feeling more unsafe now," Chib added.
Uday Chib questioned BJP for its failure to ensure the safety of innocents in Kashmir at a time when law and order in J&K is directly under the Union Home Ministry.
The JKPYC President appealed to the people to teach the BJP a lesson in the coming Assembly elections for its anti people’s policies.
Among those who joined the protest include Ajaz Choudhary and Ricky Dalotra Vice Presidents JKPYC; Sahil Singh Langeh Gen Secretary JKPYC and others.
