Addressing a public meeting at Haripur in Marh Assembly constituency held under the chairmanship of Bishan Das Bhagat Block President Jammu and Kashmir National Conference Mandal Block and was organized by Baru Ram Bhagat District Vice President.
Ajay Kumar Sadhotra Former Minister & Senior Leader Jammu and Kashmir National Conference said that National Conference is the only option left before the people of Jammu and Kashmir. He said people have bitter experience of Double Engine Govt. of BJP.
Sadhotra alleged that BJP betrayed huge mandate of the people of Jammu & by dividing and down grading Princely Historical state of Jammu and Kashmir to 2 Unions territories. He said the people of Jammu & Kashmir are feeling deceived & disgusted as by abrogation of Article 370 and 35A, the people of Jammu especially Youth are feeling robbed of their jobs, land and BJP has pushed the people towards Identity & Culture crisis.
National Conference leader said it is very strange that on 5th of August 2019 two UT’s were carved out of Princely state Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh and PRC was replaced by Domicile. The people of Ladakh in order to protect jobs of youth, land, Identity & Culture rejected it and they were given permanent resident certificate.
Sadhotra demanded that the people of Jammu and Kashmir also be given permanent resident certificates instead of Domicile so that jobs, land, culture and identity of Jammu and Kashmir be saved. People of Jammu and Kashmir are fed up with the hollow slogans and JUMLA politics of BJP. In this situation BJP’s target of 50. People will also show that their claim of 50 is a big JUMLA and people will give their full support to the National Conference being a Regional Party which can feel the pulse of the people and can fulfil the genuine urges and aspirations of the people especially youth.
He also demanded full fledged statehood for Jammu and Kashmir before holding Assembly Elections to give statehood after elections is just to PUT THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE.
