| Underdevelopment and poor basic amenities in Samba exposes false claims on development in Jammu: Altaf Bukhari | | |  Early Times Report
SAMBA, Apr 10: Apni Party President Syed Mohammed Altaf Bukhari has expressed concern over underdevelopment and poor basic amenities in Sarore area of Samba District while questioning the claims of development in Jammu.
In a statement to the press, Altaf Bukhari said that “There is no development in Jammu nor in Kashmir. The condition of roads is worse, the people are suffering because of unscheduled power cuts amid soaring temperature and clean drinking water supply in many parts of Samba District is still not provided.”
Altaf Bukhari was speaking at one day Schedule Caste Convention which was organized by District President, Samba, Apni Party, Raman Thappa and senior ST leader Saleem Choudhary at Sarore in Samba District.
Speaking at the convention at Sarore, Altaf Bukhari said that the claims being made by some people that development is taking place in Jammu is misleading to create further division between the two regions of Jammu and Kashmir and such claims need to be exposed for the unity and development of the erstwhile State. “Apni Party will expose those who create division with factually incorrect claims and mislead people of one region against the other. The Apni Party will not tolerate further division of J&K and it has resolved to fight for the unity of both the region and brotherhood,” he added. He questioned the administration for its failure to provide basic amenities in Schedule Tribe and Schedule Caste communities and neglecting development of their residential colonies.
“The electricity, water and road connectivity should be provided to the neglected class of the society without bias. It would be an injustice with the Schedule Tribes if their developmental, educational, health, seasonal migration, and forest right issues are not addressed. This community had participated in the freedom struggle of the country and they should be given their due rights,” he added.
Speaking on the occasion, Senior Vice President of the Party Ghulam Hassan Mir said that “The nomads were deprived of their rights on land even before the abrogation of Art 370 in J&K. The previous Govts exploited them as vote banks to remain in power and the condition of nomads became worse when it came to their rights on the land they held for decades and centuries.” Mir said that after the abrogation of special status from J&K, there was a sense of insecurity among the nomads who were worried about land rights. “It was the Apni Party which took up the issue with the Union Home Minister Amit Shah and got the Forests Right Act implemented in J&K,” said Mir.
He said that the Apni Party was committed for the upliftment of the downtrodden and neglected class of society and the party will not allow further exploitation of the community. |
