| Rajnath-led 'All-Party delegation' not to meet political parties in Jammu tomorrow | | | Early Times Report
jammu, Sept 4: Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh-led 'All-Party delegation' (APD) will not be meeting political parties during its Jammu visit tomorrow.
"No political party has been allowed to meet the delegation during the All-Party delegation's visit," official sources here told today.
They said that social, religious and some NGOs will be meeting the delegation. ''Associations and bodies, including Kashmiri employees, Kashmiri migrants, refugees, backward classes, social organisations, traders and others will be interacting with the APD members."
Besides Singh, Union Ministers Arun Jaitley and Dr Jitendra Singh, Leader of Opposition Ghulam Nabi Azad, AICC general secretary will also be the part of the delegation.
The delegation will arrive here tomorrow afternoon and meet the visitors for around two hours.
They will return to the national capital in the evening.
Meanwhile, infuriated by the decision of the Union and state governments to invite the political parties to meet the All-Party delegation in Kashmir only, a battalion of Panther activists spearheaded by Harsh Dev Singh Chairman JKNPP staged protest demonstration citing the move as an effrontery to the political leadership of Jammu region.
Singh said that the government functionaries had intimated the Panthers Party that the political parties could interact with central delegation only in Kashmir and the meetings in Jammu region were to be held only with the representatives of the civil society as per the itinerary.
He dubbed the outright exclusion of political class as malevolent proposition and alleged the BJP for contemplating such malicious moves to keep the regional political leadership away from the All Party Delegation.
Expressing dismay over the state government's invitation to NPP for meeting the All Party Delegation in the valley, Mr Singh said it defied logic to invite the political leadership of Jammu to place the concerns and issues of Dogra land before the central delegation in Kashmir valley rather than Jammu itself.
He said that this was not only disrespect to the Dogra electorate but strangulation of the essence of democracy.
However, ahead of day-long visit to Jammu the state government has appointed liaison officers for both the regions.
"As many as 35 liaison officers have been appointed for All Party Delegation led by Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh arriving Jammu on Sep 5," an official here said.
The liaison officers appointed for Jammu have reported to Divisional Commissioner Jammu on September 3. |
