JAMMU: JKPCC Working President Raman Bhalla, former Minister, Yogesh Sawhney, Manmohan Singh and District President Kathua Pankaj Dogra on Wednesday visited Kathua District Jail to meet arrested YRS leaders.
On Monday, hundreds of Yuva Rajput Sabha activists held a protest demanding the removal of the toll plaza alleging that it was set up in violation of rules. Some of them even tried to damage the structure, police said. Police have detained 26 YRS members they said.
Several other organisations, including trade bodies, have also demanded the closure of the toll plaza.
On Wednesday Congress leaders led by Bhalla were not allowed to meet arrested YRS activists prompting them to protest outside Jail.
Bhalla said that BJP is facing unprecedented public resentment across J&K for its alleged anti people policies.
“Life and livelihood of those living on the edge of poverty is not changing for the better”, he said and added “amidst untamed inflation and unemployment, the withdrawal of food schemes only added to the daily woes of people”.
The former Minister said, “Congress is committed to uplift the poor and downtrodden sections of the society”, he said.
Bhalla alleged that J&K has witnessed huge setbacks due to the revocation of statehood by the BJP government including seizing of jobs, land, and the suppression of political and civil rights.
Yogesh Sawhney said that the BJP has pushed the Jammu and Kashmir into unprecedented political uncertainty by indulging in politics of hate.
Meanwhile, Jammu and Kashmir National Conference has vehemently condemned the use of lathi charge on people who were peacefully protesting to demand the removable of the Toll Plaza at Sarora.
In a statement issued here today, Rattan Lal Gupta, Provincial President of J&K National Conference, asserted that the demand for the removable of the Toll Plaza from Sarore is well-founded and reflects the concerns of the people. He emphasized that the citizens’ peaceful demonstration for getting justice is a democratic right and should be met with understanding and cooperation.
Apni Party today staged a protest demonstration against the illegal collection of Toll Tax on Jammu-Pathankot highway in Samba district’s Sarore.
The protesters were shouting slogans against the NHAI, and demanded that the illegal collection of the Toll Tax at Sarore must end, and the Govt must take legal action against the people involved in harassing the people on the highway.
Meanwhile, Government attached Ajay Anand, Deputy Superintendent of Police, DAR Samba, with Zonal Police Headquarters, Jammu, with immediate effect.
