They said that the new front will fight decisive movement for central university for Jammu. “We were not against two central universities one in Jammu or another in Kashmir, but we only want that the Central University which had already been sanctioned for Jammu be established first.
CUA will only pursue the cause of setting up of central university in Jammu and struggle will continue till the government starts work on establishing university as per the commitment by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Pandoo said.
In reply to a question that the state government had proposed to union government to allot two Central Universities and two technical institutions in J&K, Mangotra said that we leave it to the state and central authorities to decide, but immediately the central university needs to be set up in earmarked place in Samba district of Jammu division.
