Jammu, August 5- When shall the historical Dogra state be restored said JK PCC Chief Spokesperson Mr. Ravinder Sharma asking the BJP to explain the achievements and benefits to the people especially the youth of Jammu and Kashmir in last three years, post abrogation of special status and downgrading of state into UT.
The record unemployment in Jammu and Kashmir, lack of job opportunities in Govt. and private sectors, opening of jobs and lands besides all business opportunities and contracts to outside people, have snatched away the limited jobs, sources from J&K people, post abrogation of special status, he added.
The security scenario has worsened as selective and targeted killings of innocents including minorities have taken place during this period, Instead of the return of Kashmir migrants those staying or serving in valley were targeted & are feeling insecure. Not only KPs, Jammu employees and others and outsiders are becoming soft targets and getting killed.
The promise of thousands of jobs in government and in private sectors are distant dreams while those selected/qualified in recruitment are finding their future bleak due to scams, in the recruitment process unearthed recently.
The democracy could not restored and people are deprived of democratic government for the last more than four years . The people can’t freely express and protest against the wrong policies , misgovernance and non-governance of the present dispensation, he added.
Those protesting for seeking due rights are treated brutally without any sympathetic approach to their genuine issues. Be it unemployed youth, daily wagers, contractual, adhoc or other temporary employees seeking redressal of their grievances, which is inhuman.
He said that Congress demands immediate restoration of statehood with safeguards for land and jobs for locals besides early holding of assembly elections, to restore democracy.
