Seeking the support of the people to foil evil designs of the BJP-controlled administration to settle outsiders in J&K and snatch the livelihood of locals, the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) on Saturday warned to intensify agitation against the move of the government of allot land to outsiders (non-state subjects).
Addressing PDP workers who were protesting against the decision of the BJP-controlled administration to allot five-marlas of land to Non state subjects under the guise of Prime Minister Awas Yojna (PMAY), general secretary of the PDP Amrik Singh Reen said that it is a nefarious design of the UT administration along with BJP to settle outsiders in different parts of Jammu and Kashmir and more specifically at Jammu. “We will strongly oppose this move of the government because this action of the administration will snatch the livelihood of the people of Jammu and Kashmir”, he said and sought the support of Jammuities to foil such nefarious designs of the government.
“This move is a cultural onslaught to finish Dogra identity because people of Jammu region will lose their identity and culture, if the Non State subjects are allotted land and settled in Jammu”, Mr. Reen said and cautioned people of Jammu region against this design of the government.
PDP leader strongly condemned the BJP-controlled administration for its failure on all fronts. Pointing toward the recent attack on three migrant workers in Kashmir, he said that this incident exposed tall claims of the administration. “This is not an isolated case, attacks of innocent people are going unabated in Kashmir Valley and those at the helm of the affairs are claiming that situation is normal”, PDP general secretary said.
“Instead of taking effective steps to ensure the safety of common citizens of Jammu and Kashmir, the BJP-controlled administration is shamelessly busy in photo sessions just to befool the people outside J&K”, he said. He further emphasised that the land is required to be given to Kashmiri Pandit population who are living in small quaters and are the real residents of J&K and deserve the land.
