Early Times Report
JAMMU, Sept 28: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday called for a shutdown here on September 30 against steps announced by the Centre to address the crisis in the Valley, saying the "Kashmir centric" formula was aimed at appeasing separatists and saving Omar government.
"It was decided to observe Jammu Bandh on September 30. Bandh is to protest against Kashmir-centric 8-point formula formulated to save Omar government by appeasing separatists," Pradesh BJP president Shamsher Singh Manhas said after a party meeting here on Tuesday. The slew of measures announced by the Centre have been prepared at the instance of state government to appease separatists so that Omar government continues in power, he said.
Calling for dismissal of Omar government, he criticised the Centre for giving it a clean chit and considering excluding certain areas from the purview of the Armed Forces Special Powers Act, saying it would not be in the interest of people nor peace. Claiming the support of many organizations to the bandh, he said it was also in protest against policies of the UPA and the NC-Congress government in which Jammu has been "ignored and discriminated against".
Transport, hotel, trade and business community in Jammu also suffered a lot during the 63-day land row agitation in 2008 with many people sacrificing their lives, but there is no one to think about them, he said. "While families of protesters who died in Kashmir have got Rs 5 lakh as compensation, the kin of those killed in Jammu during the land row got just Rs one lakh," he said terming it as an act of gross discrimination against people of the region.
Meeting was attended by Chander Mohan Sharma, Sat Sharma (C.A.),Ramesh Arora, Yudhvir Sethi, Surinder Sharma, Balbir Ram, Rajesh Gupta, Rajinder Sharma, Munish Sharma, Rajesh Kumar Gupta, Vinod Malhotra and others.
Meanwhile, Arora Bans Sabha has also extended full support to bandh call which will be a mark of protest against state government failure to protect the interest of Jammu said Arora Bans Sabha President Ramesh Arora (Adv.). Arora said that it is painful and disturbing that in 2008 promise was made with the people of Jammu for package but no package was given to business community.
