| Jammu anxiously looking forward to Modi's visit: ACC | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, July 12: Further intensifying the public awakening campaign on the issue of AIIMS and gross discrimination with people of Jammu region, the AIIMS Coordination Committee (ACC) on Sunday addressed three very largely-attended civil society meetings at Mahajan Sabha, Gandhi Nagar, Rehari and Nanak Nagar.
Addressing distinguished civil society members, heads of various caste groups, business community leaders and others, ACC chairman and president of JKHCBA, Jammu, Abhinav Sharma said that the struggling and deprived people of Jammu region are anxiously looking forward to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Jammu on July 17 and expressed the hope that he would announce an AIIMS for Jammu that day appreciating the sentiments of the people of Jammu region and the problems they have been facing owing to the absence of healthcare facilities in the region.
The ACC has no doubt whatever that Modi would appreciate the outraged sensitivities of people of Jammu region by announcing an AIIMS for the region where not a single modern and fully-equipped Medical College and Hospital exists even after 68 years of the country independence, he said, and added that the establishment of AIIMS in Jammu would go a long way in mitigating the hardships the people of Jammu region face when out of the state for medical treatment.
Chairman of the ACC bemoaned that ever since the state accession to India, people of Jammu region have been suffering both at the hands of the Kashmir-dominated and Valley-centric governments in the state and the central leadership. India became independent of the British in 1947, but Jammu lost its independence to Kashmir. The powers-that-be of the time transferred political power from Jammu to Kashmir using foul means. They allowed the Valley leadership to manipulate excessive representation for Kashmir in the Assembly, thus enabling it to ride roughshod over the people of Jammu region and Ladakh and establish the Valley stranglehold over the polity and economy of the state," he said.
He added that the worst part of the whole situation has been that the elected representatives from Jammu region have all along danced to the tunes of their Kashmiri bosses.
Jammu leadership defeated Jammu to remain in the good books of the ruling elite in the Valley. New Delhi in its desperate attempts to please the Valley leadership also did all that it could to harm the legitimate rights and interests of people of Jammu region and Ladakh. |
