JAMMU: The workers of Dogra Front & Shiv Sena (DFSS) under the leadership of President Ashok Gupta held a strong protest against the encroachers of the JDA land in Roop Nagar.
The party president stated that political parties are playing petty politics over the entire matter and are trying to give it a communal shape which is very far from reality.
The land belongs to Jammu Development Authority falling under khasra No. 1193 and 1206 which has been auctioned by the JDA in 2014, Gupta said adding that the land has been encroached since past 2-3 decades and than in 2014 the land was auctioned by the JDA to the locals through a transparent process and a case was filed in the court whose ruling has been to allot the possession to the allottes of the JDA.
After the court verdict, the anti-encroachment drive was initiated and the land has been freed by the JDA and local authorities, Gupta said.
“People like Mehbooba Mufti and other political parties like Congress, Apni Party have been supporting the encroachers and claiming it as an cleansing of Gujjars but on the contrary it is just one family who has encroached the land and has nothing to do with Gujjars,” Gupta said. The party president further stated that land grabber has no religion he can be a Hindu, Sikh, Muslim, Christian or a Gujjar, he will still be an encroacher.
Taking Mufti under the boil, he stated that under the government of PDP the land was allotted and auctioned by JDA and now she is protesting against it by playing her petty communal politics. Gupta congratulated the VC JDA Pankaj Mangotra and Div Com Raghav Langar for the valiant effort as they have making sure that the law takes it course and Jammu should prosper.
The party activists present at the protest were Birbal, Ashish, Sushil, Sampuran, Bantu, Prem, Kalu, Fauji, Lovely, Brij and Ashok.
