JAMMU: The activists of National Panthers Students Union (NPSU) on Tuesday held a protest against the State Government for supporting stone pelters of Valley and ignoring Jammu region.
The protesters led by State President NPSU, Thakur Virender Singh gathered at university main gate and raised anti-government slogans.
Singh said that this is really height of the things that PDP-BJP government is glorifying the subversive anti-national elements and dis-regarding the supreme sacrifice made by the martyrs who laid down their lives for the motherland.
Thakur Singh questioned the silence of BJP legislatures and said if stone pelters can get compensation why compensation cannot be given to those who were injured in Central University agitation and Amarnath land row.
Singh expressed serious concern over the blatant disregard of the martyrs in the State.
Singh revealed that since last couple of years several defence and security personnel had attained supreme sacrifice while confronting worst Pak sponsored terror attacks besides persistent heavy shelling and firing from across the border but the State Government paid no heed to provide ex-gratia to the next of kin of martyrs.
Likewise, several farmers and residents of forward hamlets had lost their loved ones, crops and livestock during the ongoing border skirmishes but they were deplorably denied compensation of any sort by the dispensation, he added. Moreover, it had registered several police cases against those who raised slogans of ‘Vande Matram’ in Rajouri, Poonch and also those students of NIT Srinagar who unfurled National Flag in Srinagar.
He questioned the State Government and the BJP in particular that what kind of regime was running in the State where the compensation was announced for the militants and the anti-nationals but the nationalists and the martyrs were mortified.
Singh said that power intoxicated BJP owes an explanation to the people for its treacherous and dual faced character as it along with PDP were blatantly resorting to the policy of appeasement towards the secessionists and the militant outfits operating in the Valley. He said that NPSU would oppose, expose and depose the Saffron brigade for bringing disgrace to the nationalist Dogras besides spending tax payers money to pay compensation to the enemies of the State.
Others present were Rishi, Cheetan Sharma, Rudra Partab Singh, Shubam Chib, Shubam Jostoria, Sumeet Jamwal, Shubam Jamwal and Amadeep Singh.
