JAMMU, Jan 2
Ajay Kumar Sadhotra, Additional General Secretary of Jammu and Kashmir National Conference (JKNC) and former minister has castigated the Union Territory Administration for adopting callous attitude in addressing the woes of the people living in border areas. He expressed this while addressing a meeting of NC workers held at village Lalyana in Bishnah here today.
The meeting was held under the chairmanship of Sham Lal Sadhotra Block President.
District President Jammu Rural (B), Naresh Bittu while welcoming the senior NC leaders and the workers highlighted the problems being faced by the people of the area on various counts due to authorities least bothered to listen to their woes under the existing Union Territory Adminis-tration.
Senior National Conference leader Ajay Sadhotra in his address on the occasion raised serious concern over the incumbent Govt’s callous attitude towards the people of border areas. He lambasted the UT Administration of totally ignoring the border area people in every aspect with the people in these areas left to fend for themselves. He said that it is really an irony that the BJP’s proxy Govt in J&K is making tall claims about the equitable development of the nation while the ground situation speaks contrary. He said that the fact remains that during the present regime border areas remained completely ignored and untouched in terms of development as a result of which the condition in these areas is quite deplorable.
Rattan Lal Gupta, NC Provincial President Jammu in his address on the occasion slammed the Govt for its hollow slogans of strengthening democracy at grass roots level. He said, “Why the Govt is shying of holding Panchayat, ULB and Assembly polls in J&K?” Raising serious concern over Govt’s delay tactics on holding Assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir, he said that people’s miseries have increased multifold in absence of a duly elected Govt in Jammu and Kashmir. Asserting that only the representative government can best understand the problems of the people and address their issues, he demanded that elections to the J&K Assembly be held at the earliest. He also asked the party workers to gear up for elections to ensure a smooth victory of National Conference so that people get rid of the governance that has given them nothing except miseries.
The senior NC leader asserted that only NC can address each and every issue of the people of these areas as it had been doing during its governance in the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir
Sheikh Bashir Ahmed, Provincial Secretary JKNC said that there is a dire need to strengthen the hands of Dr Farooq Abdullah and Omar Abdullah to get rid of misrule in J&K.
Pardeep Bali Provincial Secretary Jammu and Vijay Lochan Chairman SC Cell also addressed the meeting and said that the people of Bishnah have reposed faith in the National Conference and we are confident that they will continue support National Conference as they have done in the past by electing National Conference candidates twice from Bishnah Constituency.
Prominent among those who were present in the meeting include: Abdul Gani Teli Chairman OBC Cell, Ankush Abrol Joint Secretary Jammu Province, Rakesh Singh Raka Vice President Central Zone, Tarsem Khullar, Dr. Vikas Sharma, Sandesh Shan Secretaries Central Zone, Randhir Singh, Kuldeep Singh Kousal, S.
