Jammu’s interest sacrosanct, uncompromisable: NC
JAMMU: Saying that Jammu interest is sacrosanct and uncompromisable, National Conference leader Devender Singh Rana Wednesday reiterated that any attempt to trample this sacred trust of the people will be resisted tooth and nail.
“Letting down Jammuties has cost the self-styled messiahs the most with people sending a terse message that their sentiments can’t be exploited anymore,” Rana said while welcoming new entrants into the National Conference at a brief function here this afternoon.
He lamented that the Jammu region’s interest was hugely compromised in recent years, with the so-called protectors turning perpetrators and inflicting scars on public psyche.
“Under the mistaken belief of fooling the people, they actually got exposed for their ill-will and vested interest. Jammu suffered the most during their nightmarish partnership with a party they opposed for about a decade ferociously,” he said and referred to injustice meted out in employment, development and implementation of various schemes. The entire development exercise undertaken over the years got fractured due to the self-centric approach of the perpetrators of injustice, he maintained.
The NC leader said that appreciating the sensitivities of different regions and sub-regions, NC has formulated a road-map in the format of regional autonomy that envisions equal opportunities of progress and development for all, irrespective of caste, region, sub-regions and religion. This is because secularism has been the bedrock of the party which has survived most turbulent times during the past seven decades, he added.
Speaking on the occasion, former minister Surjeet Singh Slathia slammed those playing mute to grave injustice meted out to youth because self interest was dearer to them than the Jammu interest
Slathia observed that ignoring the Jammu interest tantamount to insulting the self-respecting people, who have always been large hearted. He said the time is not far when the people will make the exploiters accountable for their sins committed against Jammu.
Senior leader Advocate Muzaffar Khan welcomed the new entrants, hoping their dynamism will help further reinvigorating the National Conference at grass roots level
Rana and other senior leaders said that the National Conference is the only destination for public spirited people, who want to serve humanity by dint of their determination to further the legitimate cause of the people.
