| Kranti Dal joins protest against Kashmir formula | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Oct 5 : Another Jammu group, the Kranti Dal, today joined the rising chorus against the central government's 8-point formula to resolve the Kashmir issue, describing it as 'anti-Jammu' and 'anti-national'.
The Kranti Dal held a demonstration at Indira Chowk, one of the main crossings in the winter capital, less than half a kilometre from the civil secretariat. The protest is part of almost-daily demonstrations being held by Jammu-based groups denouncing the formula.
"It is an anti-India formula," said Virenderjit Singh of Kranti Dal.
The Shiv Sena, Jammu State Morcha, Jammu Mukti Morcha and several other groups have held similar demonstrations against the formula, announced by union Home Minister P. Chidambaram recently.
Highlighting the objections of the people, Jammu Chamber of Commerce and Industry president Y.V. Sharma said that seven of the eight points dealt with Kashmir Valley and only one point - the constitution of a task force for Jammu and Ladakh - dealt with the people of Jammu region.
"That's a sheer discriminatory approach. The centre has overlooked the interests of the people of Jammu," Sharma told here.
Jammu traders and political parties had observed a general strike September 30 to protest against "this discriminatory attitude of the centre".
