Disregard for Dogra heroes shall be agitated: Harsh Dev

Early Times Report
Jammu, June 11: Expressing extreme indignation against the BJP partnered coalition government for disparaging and ignoring the Dogra heroes bringing laurels to the entire State, Harsh Dev Singh Chairman JKNPP dubbed the flagrant disregard for them as a deep rooted conspiracy to erase the pristine glory of the lineage in a press conference in Jammu on Saturday.
Eulogizing the marvelous achievement of Lt. Col Ranveer Singh Jamwal hailing from Badhori, Samba for conquering Mount Everest recently before the media, Singh revealed that he was the first army officer from J&K and third in India to scale the world's highest peak for a third time with previous records made in May 25th, 2012 and May 19th, 2013. The gutsy Indian Army officer had a reputed credential under his belt for climbing the highest peaks in five continents besides been a recipient of many prestigious awards like Vashisht Seva Medal and Tenzing Norgay National Adventure Award (Equivalent to Arjuna Award) conferred by the President of India.
Moreover, during the massive disaster of 25th April 2015 in Nepal, the decorated officer who also enjoyed the reputation of being a 'Trained Rescuer' in natural calamities, stood firm at Everest base camp and helped the avalanche victims in terms of evacuation, relief and rehabilitation which earned him accolades from both the Indian and Nepalese governments.
Lambasting the State government for showing flagrant disregard for his accomplishments, he said that the sinister dispensation paid no heed to acknowledge the laurels brought to the State by the esteemed Army officer where as mountaineer like Bachendri Pal of Uttarakhand after summiting Mount Everest received several awards by the erstwhile UP government like Gold medal, Yash Bharti Award, Honorary Doctorate from HNBGU Garhwal, etc. Likewise, Nb. Subedar Chain Singh hailing from Doda had made a name for himself in Shooting. The shooter had won the Bronze medal in the 2014 Asian Games at Incheon in South Korea in the men's 50 m Rifle event and won six Gold medals, three each in individual and team events in the 2016 South Asian Games at Guwahati in India besides securing his spot for the Rio Olympics to be held in Brazil this year.
Castigating the BJP for clandestinely allowing its ally to tow the Secessionist agenda to erase the pristine heritage of the Dogras, Harsh Dev Singh lampooned the Saffron party for remaining slavishly silent on the emotive issue for the loaves of power. He said that the valour tale of Brig. Rajinder Singh, the saviour of Jammu & Kashmir had lost in the oblivion whose supreme sacrifice while fighting the Kabailis had enabled the landing of Indian Army in Kashmir in October 1947 which laid the foundation for its victory against Pakistani soldiers. Likewise, Gen. Baj Singh during Maharaja Ranbir Singh's regime proved himself to be a great administrator, shrewd diplomat and a man of wits.
