State President, Shri Ram Sena, Jammu and Kashmir, Rajiv Mahajan demanded the government of India to immediately separate Jammu and Ladakh region from Kashmir and give Jammu separate statehood, Kashmir separate state and Ladakh as Union territory “to end discrimination with the citizens of Jammu and Ladakh at the hands of Kashmiri rulers.”
Addressing a press conference here today, Rajiv Mahajan said that “we have our own political, social and economic aspirations, which cannot be met under the 70-year-old Kashmir dominated dispensation.”
He slammed BJP for putting Jammu’s interests and development “subservient to the pleasure of Kashmir based political party for remaining stuck to power.”
Mahajan said that for the past two and half year of BJP- PDP dispensation, “Jammu has been the worst sufferer of discrimination at the hands of Kashmir dominant rulers.”
Mahajan said the partnership of the ruling alliance parties, BJP and PDP “sans unity with the result that the people of the State in general and the Jammu region in particular are suffering on account of development”.
Mahajan appealed the BJP national president Amit Shah who is visiting Jammu and Kashmir state on Saturday “to think over the plight of Jammu people who after providing splendid mandate to BJP in last Assembly elections has sent 25 MLAs to the legislative assembly are still depressed and are not getting their due share in employment and development front”.
“Trifurcation of the State is the only viable option that can meet the aspirations of not only the people of Jammu region but also of Ladakh and Kashmir regions.”
