Addressing the gathering, Chairman AIIMS CC, Abhinav Sharma charged the BJP with hoodwinking the struggling people of Jammu region by making contradictory statements on the issue of AIIMS. He said that it is an irony that the party let down those who gave this party a massive mandate hoping that it would end the age old discrimination with them and hand down an administration that would help them compensate for the losses they suffered under the earlier Kashmiri dominated dispensations. He asserted that no effort on the part of BJP would succeed in weakening the ongoing movement in support of AIIMS for Jammu and that the BJP is only becoming unpopular by the day it started playing Kashmiri games in Jammu.
Abhinav said Jammu region is the only region in the entire country which struggled and made sacrifices at regular intervals even for obtaining such institutions as Jammu University, Medical College, Engineering College, Dental College, Central University, Agriculture University, New Administrative Units, etc.
The speakers including K.B Jandial (Retd IAS), Dr C.L Gupta, President Shri Amar Kashtriya Rajput Sabha, Narayan Singh, President, Hotel and Lodges Association, Inderjeet Khajuria, President Oil Tankers and Pump Owners Association, Anan Sharma, President Dalit Chetna Manch and Advocate Zaffar Ahmad from Poonch also highlighted the acts of omission and commission on the part of the authorities and said that AIIMS CC is destined to achieve success in its endeavour to attain justice for Jammu.
