He said the 2008 agitation brought all the nationalist people of Jammu & Kashmir under one umbrella to agitate against the repeated discrimination with Jammu in all matters and at all levels.
It was the out burst and anger of Jammuites & Kashmiri Pandits against the successive governments which had taken them for granted

Speaking on the occasion chairman of Shri Amarnath Shaheed Memorial Trust & former Convenor of Sangarsh Samiti Leela Karn Sharma criticized the state government for not keeping its promise of compensating traders, transporters, industrialists, farmers and others, who suffered losses during the agitation to the tune of 15,000 crores alleging this was so because of its anti national approach.
He said that lacs of people including our security personals have laid down their lives for the Nation since 1931 and the nation owes a lot to these martyrs and will never let down their sacrifices.
He said the cancellation of Shri Amarnath Land and speech made by Omar Abdullah in Parliament in 2008 showed the mentality of rulers in Jammu & Kashmir.
