The waves were expected to change dur
ing the 6-year-term of the elected repre
sentative of the people of Jammu but who knew that this monsoon season would wash away the aspirations of common man who used his "Power of Voting" and made the unseen, unnoticed faces noticed within the state and moreover gave them power to serve the ultimate power in a democratic system, i.e people of state. It is regrettable as well as disheartening when the common masses of Jammu region have again been forced to come on the roads for seeking the fulfillment of their aspirations. The so called Representatives of Common Man in the province have backstabbed his trust, faith and confidence which he had shown in the last assembly elections in only and only one particular sect of the state with the only belief that the he would not be discriminated again and at least this time his voice would be heard at both ends (State as well as Centre). Whether it be 1967 agitation of Agriculture and Ayurvedic College, 1978 agitation with respect to disparities in appointments, darbar move agitation, 1998 agitation pertaining to MBBS, or the agitations which today's youth of Jammu has witnessed as of Amarnath Andolan, Central University Agitation and now that of AIIMS. Maybe next movement would be for ' SMART CITY for JAMMU'. Whatsoever it may be, the point is that a particular part of state unceasingly has to raise its voice every time and has to leave no stone unturned to get what remains "HIS OWN RIGHT". But the irony is that this time our own people were in majority but again the common man of Jammu remained standing in queue while spreading forth his hands in front of his own elected representatives. Where is the democracy? Now where the common man of Jammu should go? Today, with teargas shells, lathicharge and arrests of innocents, Jammuites are again feeling deprived, neglected and deluded by empty promises. Henceforth, notably the fate of Jammuities is again in dilemma.
