| BJP Mahila Morcha holds dharna at Purani Mandi | | Suresh criticizes government for creating confusion on CU issue | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Sept 23- To register protest against delay in implementing the original decision of establishment of Central University in Jammu and also in favour of free education to females in private institutions in the state, BJP Mahila Morcha activists, led by party State Vice-President and Morcha Prabhari Suresh Jamwal, today took out a rally from party headquarters and sat on dharna for three hours at Purani Mandi.
Suresh Jamwal, speaking on the occasion, said that the coalition government has created confusion over setting up of Central University with ill intentions. She said the HRD Ministry has sanctioned a Central University for Jammu and an IIM for Kashmir. Neither any one from Jammu nor from Kashmir opposes this decision. It is the only Kashmiri leaders, who are responsible for making it an issue. She said while a few Congress leaders have come out in support of the Central University Andolan Samiti (CUAS) which is spearheading the agitation in Jammu, it is very unfortunate that the Congress ministers have preferred to remain silent. She urged the people of Jammu, cutting across their political and religious affiliations, to get united and oppose the move of the coalition government to shift the CU from Jammu to Srinagar.
She also expressed her concern over low literacy rate among females belonging to poor families in the state. She said every family can not afford to get education of their female child from their limited monthly income. Such families give priority to male child in imparting education assuming that the girl has to leave them one day and it is the male who will take care of them in future. She said although, there is free education in government run institutions but it should be made mandatory for private institutions to impart free education to any female child approaching them for getting education.
Dr. Nirmal Kamal, Sakina Bano, Mamta Singh, Raj Rani Jamwal, Priya Sethi, Shilpi Verma, Rajni Sethi, Pinky Gupta, Sangita Gupta, Darshana devi, Sureshta Jamwal, Pushpa Wazir, Sudarsha Lochan, Anuradha Charak, Rita Jamwal, Vijay Raina and Nirmal Mahajan were prominent among those who took part in the dharna.
