| BJP, Panthers accuse Govt. of perpetuating regional discrimination | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, July 21: State unit of the BJP and the Panthers Party have accused the NC-Congress coalition Government of trying to perpetuate regional discrimination.
In support of the party's contention the vice President of the Panthers Party,Harsh Dev Singh, today said that the central university had been initially, allotted for Jammu and as a result of intervention by the state Government the proposed central university may also be established in Kashmir.
Harsh Dev and President of the BJP, Ashok Khajuria said that the Jammuites did not raise any cry when the Government of India had decided to establish one IIM in Srinagar and it was so because "we were given the impression that the central university will be set up in Jammu. "The two leaders said that it was "politically immoral" to deprive Jammu from any central project. Khajuria and Hasrh Dev announced that the Jammuites would not sit silent if the Central Government did not declare that one central university will be set up in Jammu.
The two leaders said that during the last 60 years people in the Jammu region have been given a raw deal in all spheres of Government activity. Giving statistics the two leaders regretted as far the share of Jammuites in the Government ser vices was concerned it was 35 per cent against 65 per cent of the Kashmiris.
Harsh Dev said that it was strange that the Congress, which won 13 seats from the Jammu region, is silent over the issue and asked PCC(I) leaders to join hands with the opposition so that the central university was set up in Jammu.
However Ashok Khajuria suggesting a middle path said that only way to defuse the rising crisis was to sanction two campuses for the central university, one for Jammu and the other for Srinagar.
