| BJP betrayed Maharaja's legacy of safeguarding jobs, lands of J&K people: Sadhotra | | |  Early Times Report
JAMMU, Apr 11: Former Minister and senior National Conference leader Ajay Kumar Sadhotra today assailed the BJP for trampling and betraying the visionary legacy of Maharaja Hari Singh by revoking the exclusive rights of the people of Jammu and Kashmir on their lands and jobs.
"Instead of indulging in rhetoric, the BJP must realize the damage caused to the rights of the people by scrapping the constitutional provision based on the 1927 enactment of the permanent resident law by the great Maharaja", Sadhotra said while interacting with prominent people at Raipur in Balwal.
He said the insult to the injury of the J&K people is that while Ladakh has succeeded in securing safeguard to jobs and lands, a double yardstick is being applied to us. This has already resulted in terms of lands allotted to outsiders and attempts being made to open up jobs to the non-state subjects at the cost of the bonafide permanent residents here, he said, adding that Jammu is going to suffer the most being in close proximity to the chances of non-state subjects making their way to Jammu are more likely because of its proximity to other parts of the country and conduciveness in terms of security scenario, culture, topography and terrain.
Sadhotra took on the BJP for its failures in every sector and causing unrest among the people over administrative and developmental inertia. The unprecedented inflation has subjected the people to miseries with housewives braving the brunt in particular as the prices of essentials have touched skies, primarily due to hike in the fuel prices.
Sadhotra asked the BJP to concentrate on governance rather than dividing the people and indulging in falsehood.
Sadhotra also exhorted the party workers to intensify mass contact programmes, identify the problems faced to the people and remain proactive in seeking their redressal from the concerned forums.
Others who spoke on the occasion are Raghbir Singh Manhas District President, Ghar Singh Chib Corporator, Randhir Singh Jamwal Secretary Distt. Ex sarpanch Bhupinder Singh Jamwal, Rakesh Sharma, Baldev Singh Jamwal, Gurnam Singh. |
