Samba: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) organized a massive rally in Samba today to draw the attention of the govt towards the basic problems faced by the common masses who were suffering due to their gross neglect at the hands of an apathetic and indifferent administration.
The AAP workers took out a massive rally which started from Vijaypur and culminated at Samba where the gathering was addressed by several Party leaders including Ex-Ministers Harsh Dev Singh and Yash Paul Kundal besides other senior Party leaders. The rally was organized by AAP District President Samba Lovelu Sambyal.
Speaking on the occasion, Harsh Dev Singh who was the Chief Guest on the occasion said that J&K had suffered socially, politically and economically after its re-organization and division into two union territories.
“With J&K having been divested of its statehood status, the trade, tourism and economy of the erstwhile princely Dogra state of the country has been adversely impacted. While the economy fast dissipated and the development scenario witnessed a downward slide, the ever growing unemployment seemed to be the only notable feature of the saffron rule. The past few years witnessed massive public uprisings against the anti Jammu and anti people policies of the ruling dispensation which continued to be suppressed through iron fist of police and civil administration. Describing the BJP’s handling of dissent and disquiet as oppressively bizarre, undemocratic and morally sinister, Singh appealed to the people not to succumb before the machiavellian designs of the power hungry rulers. He assured that AAP would stand with people through thick and thin and continue to expose and oppose the BJP for its political debauchery and subterfuge”, roared Singh.
Addressing the huge gathering, Harsh Dev lambasted the BJP for having done the greatest disservice to J&K by demoting it to the level of UT. It has humiliated the dogras by dismantling the oldest Dogra state. The extension of several draconian laws after abrogation of Art 370 including opening of lands and jobs to outsiders had in particular, come as a rude shocker for the people of J&K. The unemployed youth of Jammu region have been the most disappointed lot with their share in services have been abysmally reduced. The Daily wagers, the contractuals, the underemployed have all felt cheated in the BJP regime.
