PDP supports Jammu Bandh, demands release of arrested youth

JAMMU, August 25: Expressing anger over the adamant attitude adopted by the BJP-controlled administration to solve pressing issues like illegal collection of toll and installation of pre-paid electric smart meters, the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) supported the bandh call given by Chamber of Commerce and Industries (CCI) on Saturday.

“We extended our full support to the CCI call of Jammu bandh on Saturday. PDP workers would take out peaceful demonstration across the Jammu region against anti-people policies of the BJP-controlled administration”, spokesperson of PDP Varinder Singh Sonu said while addressing a press conference at Jammu.

PDP spokesperson cautioned the people against the deceitful tactics of the BJP and regretted that the common masses are struggling to get basic amenities but BJP leaders are shamelessly indulged in devising nefarious designs to befool the masses.

While demanding release of youth arrested by the Police for peacefully protesting against illegal collection of toll at Sarore Toll Plaza, he said that it was all due to the support and cooperation of BJP leadership that illegal collection of toll is going unabated at Sarore but the same BJP is asking the administration to suspend collection of toll.

 While cautioning people against nefarious designs of BJP leaders he asked, “What happened to the letter written by J&K president of BJP to Union Minister Nitin Gadkari?”.

“BJP leaders are shamelessly indulged into deceitful tactics just to hoodwink the innocent people”, he said and  BJP leaders are not interested in solving the problems of the people because BJP leaders are more worried about furthering their only petty personal interests.
