Jammu 'prepares' to counter Gupkar Alliance
Jammu
October 22, 2020
Showing anger against ‘Gupkar declaration,’ several political, social and religious groups here on Tuesday held a meeting and jointly demanded “separate statehood” for Jammu region.
Though no prominent political party joined the meeting, J&K National Panthers Party (JKNPP), chairman, Harsh Dev Singh said that around 20 political and social organizations participated in the meeting named “Sainik Colony session over Jammu cause”.
The meeting was aimed to “aggressively pursue Jammu statehood cause” and counter Gupkar declaration or Gupkar Alliance.
Singh told that though development and employment was assured after abrogation of Article 370, “Jammu however got nothing thereafter.” “Delhi speaks to Kashmir and Ladakh and Jammu gets sandwiched in between, for the troubles in Kashmir valley despite no fault of Jammuities,” Singh said.
He said: “Statehood to Jammu region is the ultimate solution. For how long Jammu will be punished for ‘wrongs’ in Kashmir? There is no 4G, statehood, employment or development; why we are being punished for wrongs in Kashmir.” He said “Nobody is against any region. Give due share to Kashmir and Ladakh but it should not be at the cost of Jammu region.”
