Addressing the media persons after the meeting, Manish Sahni said that the definition of democracy has been changed during the BJP rule. BJP's greed for power is proving fatal for the identity of Jammu and Kashmir and the democratic rights of the people. Sahni said that the amendments issued on July 12 under the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganization Act are a violation of our democratic rights. He said that even before the formation of the Legislative Assembly, the jurisdiction of the nominated Lieutenant Governor is being increased by reducing the jurisdiction of the Legislative Assembly. Which is not in the interest of any democratic country or state. Sahni said that the movement will be started from August 3 regarding the above demands. Today's meeting was attended by Mohan Lal Raina, Shivraj Singh Samayal, Safir Chaudhary, Prof. GK Mujhu, Kuldeep Singh, Narendra Khajuria, Gitan Singh along with members of the core committee. |
