Jammu, March 02:
Opposition Congress blames BJP-PDP coalition government for discrimination in creation of additional Deputy Commission posts for selected area ignoring basic demand of people in many sectors in Jammu region.
Senior Congress leader and state spokesperson, Ravinder Sharma has criticized the Govt. of testing the patience of agitating people over the demand for creation of posts of ADCs in Nowshera, Sunderbani and Kalakote and sanction of district status comprising of three sub-divisions.
Reacting to the prolonged stalemate and continued agitation in three sub-divisions, PCC leader blamed the Govt. for creating this situation by peace – meal announcements on selective and pick & choose basis for creating ADCs in Kateranka, Basohli, Billawar and some other areas.
The Govt. did not constitute any mechanism or commission to study and consider the genuine demands of other deserving areas, especially long pending demand of this area, which has led to the prevailing row. He said the political considerations should not overweigh or overtake merit and criteria for extending facilities of administrative convenience. Some ruling leaders are in the competitive race for creating and retaining their vote bank and playing politics, which is unfortunate and failure of the Govt. and ruling leaders. Any biased decision would be counter- productive and force to the people to continue and intensify their struggle.
