In the meeting a resolution was passed by all the panches and sarpanches including block Convenors to fight against the government against it's decision of holding indirect elections of sarpanches They also pledged to fight for the implementation of 73rd amendment of constitution in j&k panchayti raj act ..
Shahnawaz Choudhary while lashing out at the government said that BJP is centralising the powers every where in the country and particularly in J&K. In the last assembly elections majority of the central leadership of BJP including Prime Minister Narender Modi in election rallies made commitment that if they voted them to power they will implement the 73rd amendment in the state.
Instead of implementing they have further weakened and diluted the J&K Panchayti Raj Act by holding the indirect elections of sarpanches which will give rise to horse trading and corruption .He said that the coalition government of J&K wants to keep the power at Civil Secretariat instead of sharing with the people at grassroots level ..
Shahnawaz said in the first phase he was touring in all the districts of Jammu province and interacting with all the panchayt representatives to aware them about this and after adopting resolutions in all districts we will make further plan of action to launch agitation against the Govt.
He said that the last government of Congress and national conference has passed the bill in the assembly as per the provisions of 73rd assembly. But this government instead of implementing it have brought the old Panchayati Raj system back which will not be acceptable to people . He further appealed to the state government to take back it's decision of holding indirect elections of sarpanches otherwise face aggressive state wide agitation.
