Jammu, Oct 03:
With Panthers Party having put up a brave front against the opportunist leaders and all political parties which betrayed Jammu, Mr. Harsh Dev Singh JKNPP Chairman and Former Minister said that BJP and Congress Can’t be allowed to go unchallenged. He said that repeated experimentation of the people with the traditional political parties had proved to be a failure with the Jammu Dogras desperately seeking an alternative which could steer Jammu out of the crisis and assure it its reasonable due. He said that vacuum created due to distrust of people in BJP and Congress was being appropriately filled up by the Panthers Party. He was addressing huge public gathering in Ward No. 3, 4, 7, 28 and 21 of JMC today alongwith the NPP candidates Sh. Kewal Krishan Sharma, Ms. Karishma Thakur, Smt. Vaishno Devi, Sh. Surinder Chouhan and Smt. Swaran Kanta respectively.
Accusing both congress and BJP of marginalizing Jammu and pushing the dogra land to terminal decline, Mr. Singh said that both the said parties had pursued the policies of appeasement and pampering of Kashmir region at the cost of Jammu. While both got the lion’s share of Assembly, Parliament and Municipal seats from Jammu, they relegated their political constituency into the background, while in power, only to keep their Kashmir based masters in good humour, he said. With peoples’ confidence having been shaken and shattered in the said parties, the JKNPP was emerging as the most credible voice of Jammu region and dogras.
Appealing the public in the said wards to support JKNPP, Mr. Singh said that people would find a visible change in Jammu’s landscape with development projects getting a new thrust in the event of its victory.
He said that Panthers Party had fielded highly qualified, visionary and matured candidates in the Municipal polls having the capacity to take on the challenges confronting Jammu. “We want to carry everybody along irrespective of caste, creed, colour or religion. The preservation of cultural homogeneity of dogra land and mutual brotherhood has always been the lynchpin of the party’s core agenda” said Harsh while appealing all sections of society to support their own regional party.
Prominent among those who spoke on the occasion included Mrs. Manju Singh, Mrs. Swaran Kanta, Vaishno Devi, K.K Sharma, Partap Singh, Kirti Fangotra, Neeru, Anita besides others.
