Vested interests creating wedge among regions in garb of AIIMS: Jasrotia 6/17/2015 11:21:53 PM Early Times Report KATHUA, June 17: Reacting to three-day Jammu bandh from June 19 by an apex body of civil society groups to protest move to shift a proposed unit of the premier medical institute from Jammu to Kashmir Valley, the BJP State General Secretary and MLA Kathua, Rajiv Jasrotia said today that vested interests are trying to create a wedge among regions in garb of AIIMS. While addressing meeting of party workers, Jasrotia said that political parties by raging controversy over the announcement of setting up of a branch of All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in the Valley are trying to create regional divide in Jammu and Kashmir even as Minister of State in the PMO Dr Jitendra Singh announced that an AIIMS will be set up in Jammu before any other part of the state, and has already put a lid on the controversy in view of reports that the medical institute might be set up in Srinagar first. He criticized the political parties for unnecessarily creating furore and again announcing a three day shutdown against what they termed as 'discrimination' with Jammu region. He cautioned that such a move will create a wedge among three regions of state. Expressing disappointment over the handling of issue so far, Jasrotia said political parties are playing politics on AIIMS issue when the issue should not be politicized given that human lives are precious in both the regions.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
