Lambasting the Government BJP leaders said that VDC members and SPOs have done remarkable service to the nation in fighting the terrorism in remote areas of Jammu region and many of them laid down their lives for their country. Instead of rewarding them the Government has terminated the services of some of the SPOs and has started process of disbanding VDCs negating their role and sacrifices, they added. They also criticized the Government for maintaining a stoic silence on the regularization demand of VDC members and SPOs, leading to a lot of resentment among the nationalist forces in the state. They warned that the BJP will launch agitation in case the Government continues its rigid stand on the demand. The BJP leaders also demanded enhancement of wages of VDC members as well as SPOs who are unable to feed their families in these hard and tough days. They also submitted memorandas to authorities in the respective areas and warned that in case the demands were not settled the Party will be forced launch indefinite agitation in support of the demands of VDC members and SPOs.
