BJP-PDP cocktail doesn't augur well for health of Jammuites : Harsh 8/21/2015 10:54:28 PM Early Times Report JAMMU, Aug 21 : Strongly condemning the State government for its decision to close down 1300 primary and middle schools in Jammu region in the name of rationalization, chairman Jammu Kashmir National Panthers Party (JKNPP) and former Minister Harsh Dev Singh lambasted the Jammu based MLAs for keeping mum on the subject and silently acquiescing in the highly profane act. Describing the government move on closure of schools as highly retrograde, he said that it would adversely affect the educational activity especially in the remote and far flung areas of the state where thousands and thousands of school going children will be forced to discontinue their studies. He was addressing a one day JKNPP activists workshop at Majalta today. Speaking on the occasion, Singh said that JKNPP had launched the 'Fight for Jammu' mission after the BJP's betrayal of the Jammu's cause and its consecutive surrenders on all Jammu related issues before its coalition partner PDP. He said that JKNPP held three protest demonstrations in New Delhi near the Parliament House for restoration of AIIMS besides agitating the said issue in various districts of the state. He said that again it was JKNPP which held repeated protests outside Pak high commission in New Delhi for aiding and abetting militancy, for its sponsoring terrorism and its attempts for revival of militancy in J&K and its misadventures on the LoC and international border. He said that JKNPP was paying the price for raising the issues of Jammu's neglect and deprivation in various fields and for highlighting the omissions and commissions of the present dispensation as the security cover of majority of its leaders had been withdrawn besides harassment of its workers at various levels. Strongly denouncing the submissive posturing of BJP on various Jammu related issues, Singh regretted that the said party had disappointed the people of Jammu region and forcibly suppressed the voice of civil society on the issue of AIIMS in Jammu. Highlighting the local issues of Majalta, Singh called for early mecademization of the roads approved during his tenure under PMGSY, early repairs of the damaged transformers, provision of teachers in various staff deficient schools, opening of the roads blocked due to landslides and early establishment of degree college in Majalta as per the directions of High Court given in the writ petition filed by the Panthers Party.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
