| Don’t take this region for granted again, warns Manhas | | BJP appalled over humiliation of meritorious Jammu students in Srinagar | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Sept 10: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has expressed deep regret over the alleged humiliation and ham-handed treatment given to the meritorious students of Jammu region at Srinagar during a felicitation ceremony held at Srinagar on September 5 this year.
In a handout issued here today, BJP state President Shamsher Singh Manhas said that an official function organized at Srinagar on September 5 to felicitate the meritorious students of 10th and 12th classes who secured academic positions between 2004 and 2010 in the state was seemingly intended at humiliating people of Jammu region.
He said that while the students from Kashmir were presented medals and cash awards ranging from Rs. 7000 to Rs. 10,000, those belonging from Jammu region were given medals only. “This all happened in the presence of Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, education minister and other senior functionaries of the education department. Not only this, students from Jammu were made to sit on the floor of the auditorium,” claimed the BJP leader.
Manhas asked Chief Minister to explain reasons for remaining silent over humiliation of students belonging to Jammu region. Reminding Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and Congress leaders of Jammu region, Manhas said that the discriminatory attitude of the state government in the field of education with Jammu was clear when process for establishing the sanctioned Central University was delayed intentionally while one sanctioned at a later stage for Kashmir is functional for the last two years.
He also reminded Omar of the unity displayed by Jammuites during 2008 agitation when all the tall leaders of NC, Congress and PDP had gone into hibernation to escape rath of the Jammuites. Even many of them had fled to London or other parts of the country, he added. BJP chief asked the coalition government not to test patience of Jammuites and shed its policy of discrimination or the people will be forced to come on roads and the government will be responsible for the consequences.
Manhas also demanded unconditional apology from Commissioner/Secretary Education Naseem lanker for his irresponsible utterances about the Jammu students, who had gone to Srinagar to receive the medals. He said that such utterances only add fuel to the fire and the bureaucrats should not become tools into the hands of the government to hide their misdeeds and failures.
