JAMMU, NOV 27:
Mr. Harsh Dev Singh Chairman JKNPP and former Minister appointed Mr. Surinder Chauhan as District President (Rural) of Panthers Party here in Jammu today. On the occasion, Mr. Surinder Chauhan said that JKNPP was the only regional party of Jammu region which could provide rights and justice to the people who had been bearing the pain of discrimination doled out to them in all spheres for the last 70 years. He said that in the last four years the party had lodged more than 400 protests in Jammu and more than 50 protests in New Delhi for raising Jammu centric issues which BJP miserably failed to do so during its rule. He said that Delhi and Kashmir based parties were not the solution for the miseries faced by Jammu Pradesh and maintained that Panthers Party was well versed with the plight of the Dogras which had vowed to regain their pride and honour at all costs. Mr. Chauhan said that since the BJP had bartered away the aspirations of the Dogras to Kashmiri leadership for the lust of power, the people were feeling cheated and betrayed, and hence reposing faith in the Panthers Party.
Surinder Chauhan, while expressing his gratitude to Mr. Harsh Dev Singh pledged to propagate the agenda of the party at the grass root level. He flayed the BJP’s policy of deceit, duplicity and betrayal cautioned the people not to get swayed away again by the rhetoric and tall pronouncements of the Saffron party. He appealed them to support and strengthen their own Panthers Party for the empowerment of Jammu region in the next elections.
The newly appointed District President (Rural) was directed by the Party Chairman to constitute Jammu rural committee within one month.
