| Manjit Singh seeks reservation of ST seats in assembly constituencies having less Tribal population | | Opposes reservation of Assembly seats along International Border, terms it injustice with DPs | Samba,January 15(Scoop News)-Apni Party Provincial President Jammu Manjit Singh has demanded political reservation of Schedule Tribe Community in assembly constituencies where they have less population.
Speaking at a joining programme organized during a meeting of ST Wing at Barjani in Bari Brahmana Samba District, Manjit Singh said that the Schedule Tribe community is among the most neglected and marginalized section of society which remained politically disempowered.
On this occasion, the District Committee of ST Wing Samba was also announced and many people also joined the Party during the meeting at Barjani.
“This disempowerment is mostly in the constituencies where they have less population but their representation is always undermined and hence, they face negligence,” he said while speaking at the meeting.
He said that in constituencies where they have a majority, they elect their representatives but the problem is being faced where the Gujjars-Bakkerwals have less population.
He said that the Govt should review its politics for the welfare of the nomads who have been the victims of political division.
“These people need a rehabilitation policy, economic, and social upliftment,” he said and added that their colonies are neglected and hardly any developmental activities are taken up.
He said that “if Apni Party forms the next Govt, we will work for the social, economic and political upliftment and develop their colonies.”
The party is really concerned about the plight of the nomads in Jammu and Kashmir, he added.
He also appealed to the Govt not to reserve assembly seats in the assembly constituencies along the International Border.
“Majority of the people living along the border villages are displaced persons from Chhamb and PoJK and therefore, it would affect their political representation,” he said.
Meanwhile, ST Wing President Choudhary Saleem Alam also spoke on the occasion and expressed his concern over the targeting of the ST localities without prior notices by Jammu Development Authority.
He said that “It seems JDA is working on directions of someone and is not concerned about the marginalized section of society.”
“JDA came to formation with an aim to provide good livelihood. However, they are acting in a wayward manner,” he added.
Meanwhile, issues like unavailability of teachers in Govt Primary School, Quili Gujjar Nalla, drinking water, and tractor road from Quili to Baladev.
The ST leader also appealed to Lt Governor and Deputy Commissioner, Samba to look into the developmental issues of Parmandal and resolve them as early as possible.
The Apni Party has designated ST Wing Committee members i.e., Master Arshad Ali as President Meen Sarkar; Baloch Din as Senior Vice President (Bari (Madkani); Taj Din Panch as Vice President Chanoori, Barkat Ali as Vice President Rahya Morh, Shamsh Din as Vice President of Shama Talab, Noor Mohammed Ranger as General Secretary of Bari Khad, Choudhary Rashid as Secretary Vijaypur (Sunjwan); Sher Wani as Secretary Chack Manga; Ali Mohammed as Secretary Refugee Camp Samba; Babu Din as Organising Secretary Meen Sarkar; Shamsher Hakla as Media Incharge/Cashier Badhori; Bashir Ahmed as Block President ST Wing Purmandal (Katwalta), and Mohammed Yaseen as Youth President Block Purmandal Kueli.
