JAMMU, Jul 15: Convinced that the Centre has planned to hold elections in whole of J&K UT in the near future and hand over the state power to Kashmiri leadership, IkkJutt Jammu Party chief Adv Ankur Sharma today announced the Party’s resolve to hold demonstrations at district headquarters and other places at the same time on Sunday, July 17 2022 to draw the attention of the authorities to their single-point agenda seeking separation of Jammu province from Kashmir so that the people of the region could obtain liberation from the secessionist and oppressive Kashmiri leadership and lead a dignified life and serve the nation to the best of their ability.
Ankur Sharma said that the people of Jammu province couldn’t co-exist with that Kashmiri leadership, which has been posing a live threat to the national security from day one and jeopardized even the general civil, political and economic rights and interests of the people of Jammu province with the active support of the political class in New Delhi ever since the state’s accession to India in October 1947.
“They need a dispensation similar to the one other states of the Union have. They just can’t afford any kind of truck with Kashmiri leadership, which treated the people of Jammu province worse than the brutes; hurt their socio-cultural and political aspirations; exploited them and their natural resources to the hilt to enrich Kashmir and enrich themselves; used their extraordinary and unbridled executive and legislative powers to change the demographic landscape of the province and force down the throat of Jammu province their secessionist will.” Ankur Sharma added that “the situation has now climaxed to the point that the very identity, personality and survival of the people of Jammu province is under grave threat and that his party would not accept anything short of full state status to Jammu province”.
Ikkjutt Jammu Party chief bemoaned the Union Government’s August 5, 2019 biased approach towards the suffering people of Jammu province. He said they would have appreciated the Union Government all the more, had that day it also treated them like it treated the suffering Buddhists of Ladakh and separated Jammu province from Kashmir like Ladakh to meet their age-old demand seeking full socio-economic and political empowerment. “By continuing to link the destinies of the people of Jammu province with the fundamentally separatist, communal and oppressive Kashmiri leadership, the Union Government only disappointed them,” said Sharma, adding that it’s time for the authorities to rectify the August 5, 2019 lapse and restrict the area of communal strife to the small Kashmir Valley by dividing Kashmir also into two Union Territories and by segregating the resource-rich and patriotic Jammu province from Kashmir as a full independent state.
Ankur Sharma warned New Delhi that it’s whole approach towards Jammu province is fraught with dangerous ramifications not only for the people of Jammu province but also for the nation as a whole as a weak and enslaved Jammu would not be able to protect and promote further the paramount sovereign interests in this northern region. He urged the policy-planners in New Delhi to sit up to re-examine the whole situation both in Jammu province and terrorist-infested Kashmir province and further reorganize J&K to empower the neglected and marginalized Jammu and weaken the grip of secessionists in Kashmir whose one-point agenda is to de-link the whole of J&K from India and establish theocratic rule in the region.
