| BJP regime humiliated Dogras by demoting J&K State to UT : Harsh Dev | | |  Early Times Report
Chenani, June 4: National Panthers Party (NPP) organized a massive rally in Sudh Mahadev today to draw the attention of the govt towards the basic problems faced by the common masses who were suffering due to their gross neglect at the hands of an apathetic and indifferent administration. The NPP workers took out a massive rally which started from Bus Stand and culminated near Paap Nashini where the gathering was addressed by several party leaders including Harsh Dev Singh Former Minister and NPP President, Mr. Sukhdev Singh Founder member, Mrs. Manju Singh besides other senior party leaders.
Addressing the huge gathering, Mr. Harsh Dev Singh who was the Chief Guest on the occasion, said that J&K had suffered socially, politically and economically after its re-organization and division into two Union Territories. “With J&K having been divested of its statehood status, the trade, tourism and economy of the erstwhile princely Dogra state of the country has been adversely impacted. While the economy fast dissipated and the development scenario witnessed a downward slide, the ever growing unemployment seemed to be the only notable feature of the saffron rule. The past few years witnessed massive public uprisings against the anti Jammu and anti people policies of the ruling dispensation which continued to be suppressed through iron fist of police and civil administration. Taking repeated somersaults on almost all its professed promises, the narcissistically pleased and power intoxicated BJP continued to use the coercive apparatus of state to silence all those who dared raise their voice for justice and sought fulfillment of promises made by it during elections. Rather than honouring the commitments made by it during last polls, it was trying to crush the dissenting voices by causing dissensions in and breaking the opposition parties”, roared Singh. Describing the BJP’s handling of dissent and disquiet as oppressively bizarre, undemocratic and morally sinister, Singh appealed to the people not to succumb before the machiavellian designs of the power hungry rulers. He assured that NPP would stand with people through thick and thin and continue to expose and oppose the BJP for its political debauchery and subterfuge. Harsh Dev Singh further lambasted the BJP for having done the greatest disservice to J&K by demoting it to the level of UT. It has humiliated the Dogras by dismantling the oldest dogra state. The extension of several draconian laws after abrogation of Art 370 including opening of lands and jobs to outsiders had in particular, come as a rude shocker for the people of J&K. The unemployed youth of Jammu region have been the most disappointed lot with their share in services have been abysmally reduced. The Daily wagers, the contractuals, the underemployed have all felt cheated in the BJP regime, divulged Singh. Alleging that a deep rooted culture of corruption was prevalent in the UT, Mr. Singh called upon the vigilante organizations to keep a close watch over the functioning of various Deptts particularly PHE, Mining, Education, PWD, Power, CAPD and RDD. He said that the lackadaisical approach of the concerned authorities was responsible for the power and drinking water crisis in the majority of the rural areas. He called for developing the tourism potential of Sudh Mahadev , Mantalai, Basht, Karlah, Chulyar, Bup and Sarar. He sought early clearances of liabilities and other work done claims of contractors and mates pending for the last 2-3 years in PWD, PHE, PDD etc. |
