Jammu, Nov 18 :-
Ikkjutt Jammu Chairman Ankur Sharma urged the Governor of Jammu and Kashmir State to invoke his constitutional authority and withdraw the dangerous J&K State Lands (Vesting of ownership to the occupants) Act, 2001 popularly known as Roshni Act to defeat the Jihadi war in the form of demographic invasion of Jammu.
Ankur Sharma welcomed the recent directions of the Double Bench of J&K High Court prohibiting any of the beneficiaries of the contentious Roshni Act from carrying out transaction of all types.
Ankur Sharma said that the IkkJutt Jammu’s Shankhnaad Maha Adhiveshan has clearly underlined the fact that demographic invasion of Jammu and Ladakh is the longer arm of the Jihadi war unleashed in Jammu and Kashmir and can lead to the collapse of resistance against Islamic separatism in the State. He demanded that there is an imperative and urgent necessity to retrieve the illegally occupied State Lands in all districts of Jammu and Ladakh province especially Bhatindi, Sunjawan, Sidhra, Majeen along the national highways, railway tracks, River bed, nallahs and around the Army cantonments.
He warned that any dithering in stopping the systematic demographic invasion of Jammu and Ladakh will constitute as abetment with anti-National designs in the State.
IkkJutt Jammu Chairman welcomed the recent High Court instructions restraining and prohibiting the use of the lands as well as property regularised under Roshni Act. He said Court orders are an indicator of the seriousness of the issue and it should activate the present Govt. under the Governor Satya Pal Malik to have a comprehensive review of the entire policy that led to the passing of the Roshni Act. He said the developments which led to the evolution of Roshni Act are essentially subversive and a critical subject for even the NIA to proble.
Ankur Sharma said there is dire necessity to understand the link between Islamist terrorism in the State and the demographic invasion of Jammu. Both are the integral part of a destabilization process in the State spearheaded by Pakistan as well as Pan-Islamic forces. He further said that Govt. of India so far has hesitated to recognize this reality and as such has remained almost paralysed to respond to the situation.
