Jammu, April 24 (Scoop News)- Expressing gratitude to the people of different walks for observing a complete bandh today, Congress has described it as an eye opener for the BJP led Govt. at the Centre and the present coalition Govt. especially the BJP over its betrayal with the people of Jammu Region on various issues especially the setting up of AIIMS.
Reacting to the complete shut down in Jammu on the joint call of the various trade and social organizations besides Congress party, JKPCC has said that people have reflected their anger over the unholy alliance of BJP with PDP and its policy of surrender and taking their electorate for granted.
Chief Spokesman of the Party Ravinder Sharma said that bandh was complete and voluntary which is answer to arrogance of BJP and its policies of deceit with people of Jammu Region after securing their mandate on the promise of ensuring justice and empowerment of people of Jammu region.
The Congress had been questioning BJP for its stand on various issues especially granting of AIIMS to Jammu after having announced the same on Feb. 28. He said that Congress questioned the Government in the State Legislature and launched a movement by holding protest demonstrations at all Dist. Headquarters including in front of Raj Bhawan Jammu on April 13 but the BJP maintained its criminal silence on the issue so far.
The unity of people and initiative of various organizations including Chamber, Bar, Transporters besides other right thinking citizens and political and Social outfits is a welcome step and the Centre and State Government can no longer remain silent spectators to the present unrest and anger of people displayed by them today.
He said that Congress leaders and workers all over Jammu Province joined the massive protest demonstrations amidst the bandh, to register the anger of the people over the policies of the present dispensation of the Centre and the State over the issue. Protest demonstrations were held at various township and Dist. Headquarters in the Province.
The PCC strongly condemned the police lathi charge on the peaceful protesters at Dogra Chowk Jammu in which several Congress leaders and workers were injured including PYC President Pranav Shagotra, Anoop Gupta, Anil Chopra, Manmohan Singh and Vikram Malhotra. This shows the utter frustration of the Govt. and the administration.
