Jamwal assails BJP for muzzling peoples’ voice, shrinking democratic space
03/08/2015
JAMMU AUGUST 02- Lodging strong protest against excesses committed on peaceful protesters yesterday and supporting demand for another full-fledged AIIMS in Jammu, National Conference on Sunday staged a dharna at Talab Tillo here with workers raising slogans criticising the Centre and PDP-BJP Government in the State for hoodwinking public opinion on this important issue.
"The governments in New Delhi and in the State are not clear on this sensitive issue, as a result of which the situation continues to be fluid, forcing the people in general and proponents of the cause of Jammu AIIMS in particular to continue the agitation", NC District President Jammu Urban Mr Dharamveer Singh Jamwal said while addressing the protesters.
He said National Conference has been steadfast in its stand about a separate AIIM for Jammu while the party has welcomed and lauded the decision of sanctioning the one for Kashmir. On the contrary, there are contradictions not only between PDP and BJP and within the Sangh Parivar itself.
"The BJP Ministers and the leaders are speaking differently on this issue", he wondered. Strongly pitching for full-fledged AIIMS in Jammu, Mr Jamwal said vague and ambiguous statements have potential of alienating the people further. He complimented the people for showing exemplary unity and projecting their rightful demand peacefully and democratically.
Prominent among those who joined the protests included, Choudhry Arshad, Provincial President Women Wing Mrs Satwant Dogra, Mrs Bimla Luthra, Mr Abdul Gani Teli, Mr Surinder Singh Bunty, Mr Vijay Lochan, Mr K D Singh, Mr Ankush Abrol, Mr Rashpal Singh, Mr Ashok Singh, Mrs Pinki Bhat, Mr Shabir Salaria, Mr Rohit Kerni, Mr Rohit Bali, Mr Jatin Bhat, Mr Yashu Vardhan Singh, S. Sucha Singh Mr Subash Kumar, Mr Som Raj Tarloch and others.
