Jammu, February 26, 2022: President, J&K Jatt Sabha and Ex-Minister Manjit Singh has expressed its serious concern over the negligence of Jatt Community in Jammu’s border belt as no representation was given to them even in the proposed amendment in the draft report of the Delimitation Commission.
In a strongly worded statement, Manjit Singh said that the Delimitation Commission has ignored a community which has often faced enemy bullets bravely in the border belt.
“These people have to be displaced from many places due to border clashes and their political representation was undermined and ignored to give even a single seat to them despite being a vast population of Displaced Persons,” he said.
He alleged that this has happened due to the conspiracy of BJP which deliberately ignored a community which has spread in the border villages of Jammu province.
He demanded that the amendments which have come in a report should again be considered and Jatt Community should be given political representation which is still being ignored.
“When other communities are being provided political representation, the deliberate negligence of Jatt Community shows that a political party does not want this community to have representation in the assembly,” he said.
He said that the Jatt Community will not forget the betrayal and accordingly a strategy will be launched by the Jatt Community/DPs in coming days to teach a lesson to BJP for its biased approach.
He demanded that the Delimitation Commission should have considered the community’s long standing demand but it acted on the directions of a political party.
