Jammu, June 05, 2023 (PPI-OT): National Panthers Party (NPP) President Harsh Dev Singh has said that Jammu and Kashmir has suffered socially, politically and economically after abrogation of Article 370 and its bifurcation by the Modi regime in August, 2019.
Addressing a massive rally organized by NPP in Chenani, Udhampur district, against 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 NPP workers took out the massive rally which started from Bus Stand and culminated near Paap Nashini where the gathering was addressed by several party leaders including Harsh Dev Singh.
Addressing the gathering, Harsh Dev Singh said, “With J and 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.”
He added that the past few years witnessed massive public uprisings against the anti- ammu and anti-people policies of the ruling dispensation which continued to be suppressed through iron fist of police and civil administration.
Taking repeated somersaults on almost all its professed promises, the narcissistically pleased and power intoxicated BJP continued to use the coercive apparatus of state to silence all those who dared raise their voice for justice.
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.
The extension of several draconian laws after abrogation of Article 370 including opening of lands and jobs to outsiders had in particular, come as a rude shocker for the people of J and K. The unemployed youth of Jammu region have been the most disappointed lot with their share in services have been abysmally reduced, he said.
