JAMMU, Mar 10: The tall claims made by the Omar led National Conference (NC) Government in the recently presented budget about the betterment of Jammu division and boosting the economy have once again proved to be hollow.
The Government failed to end the decade long discrimination with Jammu division, said Manish Sahni, president, Shiv Sena (UBT) Jammu-Kashmir unit.
Addressing a press conference Manish Sahni said that discriminatory attitude towards Jammu division remains the same. In the recently presented budget by the Omar Government, no special package was announced for the development of tourism, religious places and boosting the economy of Jammu.
“At the same time, no special amount was announced for the maintenance of Ranbir Canal and Dogra heritage sites, the life line of farmers. The BJP MLAs along with the Government remained silent on the promotion of Dogri language and culture. The hue and cry over the liquor ban in the temple city of Jammu did not go beyond the politics of pressure on the vendors,” he said.
Sahni said that as soon as the budget session is over, Shiv Sena and Sainik Samaj Party will jointly launch the “Jammu ko do Apna Haq” campaign.
He said that if the Omar Government wants to keep Jammu with Kashmir, then Jammu should be declared the permanent capital, otherwise, like Leh Ladakh, the Jammu division will be forced to raise the demand of creating a separate state for its rights.
