Bulldozer crushing people’s rights: Priyanka on J&K anti-encroachment drive

13-02-223 : Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra sharply criticized the government on Monday for the ongoing anti-encroachment campaign in Jammu and Kashmir, saying that in order to foster trust and promote peace, it is important to hear what the average person has to say rather than “crushing their rights under the bulldozer.”

Major political parties have expressed their opposition to the effort and called for an immediate end to it, including the Congress, the National Conference, and the PDP.

As of now, the government has recovered more than 10 lakh kanals of land throughout Jammu and Kashmir. On January 7, Commissioner Secretary of the Revenue Department Vijay Kumar Bidhuri gave all deputy commissioners the order to ensure that all encroachments from state land were completely removed. Gandhi said in a tweet that people in Ladakh who are calling for the restoration of their constitutional rights are the victims of atrocities.

The Congress general secretary alleged that houses are being bulldozed in Jammu & Kashmir against the opinions of the general populace.

“A country is made of people. For peace and trust, it is necessary to listen to the common people and not crush their rights under the bulldozer,” Gandhi said.

Additionally, she tagged screenshots of several news reports about the eviction drive in Jammu and Kashmir. #BulldozerCrushingRights #JammuAndKashmir #AntiEncroachmentDrive #PriyankaGandhi #HumanRights #Oppression #Injustice
