He said Modi government is not concerned about the gruesome incidents of Rape reported regularly and atrocities on the Dalits and others in the name of religious beliefs by fake and false allegations etc.
The farmers are committing suicides in large numbers as they are not getting the adequate price of their produce, the unemployed youth are fed up as the promised two crores jobs annually are nowhere, as around 4.5 lacs jobs were provided so far by NDA government, the demonetization has badly affected the common man and small and medium scale business class due to the poor and faulty economics policies of the government.

Azad lauded the role of Jammu region which became an abode of the people of all religions and faiths from all districts of the state during the peak of militancy and now also it is example of religious brotherhood and tolerance but there are attempts to disturb and destabilize this age old traditional harmony by the vested political interest. He appealed to the people to remain united and thwart such designs in future also.

Raman Bhalla lambasted the BJP for its total failure to ensure the safety and security of the people in the state and are badly exposed for their surrender for the sake of power. BJP Ministers and legislators are mute spectators to the weak and discriminatory policies of the government.
Our Jawans and civilians are becoming targets of militants and Pakistan on daily basis and the government has no road map to deal with the situation. The people would teach them a lesson as and when occasion comes and cautioned the people against the communal and divisive policies of the BJP. He paid rich tributes to the martyrs and conveyed heartfelt sympathies to their families, Bhalla added.... |
