Lok Janshakti Party J&KUT President Rafiq Malik on Tuesday said the youth of the state are being suffocated by the exploitive policies of government and the looming uncertainty has created a sense of anguish and depression among them.
“The Central government’s unfortunate failure to reach out and build bridges of reconciliation and peace with our youth has created a political vacuum,” he said while addressing youth during a joining programme in Jammu n which prominent youth joined LJP. Those who joined along with their supporters include Ajay Distt Samba President IT Cell, Abdul Rehman J&KUT Gen Secy IT cell. Prominent among those present on the occasion include Varun Bali J&KUT Senior Vice President , Puran Chand Malhotra Gen Secy Jammu Province ,Mulkh Raj J&KUT President Labour Cell,Tilak Raj Gen Secy Labour Cell ,Pimpal Kumar District Samba President Labour Cell ,Ajay J&KUT Secy Labour Cell ,Munish Rajput Distt Youth President Samba .
Speaking on the occasion, Malik claimed in the present grim atmosphere in J&K, the youth is being robbed of their right to dream of a dignified and prosperous future. He said the youth is feeling cheated as promises made to them were either broken or unapologetically abandoned. “The same promises were then bartered without any inhibitions for personal and familial political empowerment of a few people while our hardworking, honest and sincere young men and women were let down and left to the mercy of uncertainty and turmoil,” he said.
He urged Lieutenant Governor Sinha to give priority attention to the concerns of the educated youth, underemployed and retrenched employees of various departments . While BJP government surpassed all other governments in giving lofty slogans and tall assurances of youth empowerment, the actual delivery was in inverse proportion to the articulation of the said promises, Malik said.
