Accusing the BJP of "betraying" the people of Jammu, the JKNPP today called for a protest at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi to press its demand for the allocation of an AIIMS to Jammu.
"BJP is misguiding the people of Jammu. To expose BJP, our party has decided to hold protest at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi to press for our demands for allocation of AIIMS to Jammu," JKNPP chairman Harsh Dev Singh told reporters here.
He said his party was not against setting up of an AIIMS in the Valley but demands one for Jammu.
"Jammu should get what belongs to Jammu. We are not against setting up of another AIIMS in Kashmir," Singh said.
The JKNPP leader accused BJP of betraying the people of Jammu and said "it sold its ideology to be in power".
Singh also criticised the BJP-PDP government for its newly introduced recruitment policy, saying that it would promote "favouritism and nepotism while ignoring the merit of the educated youths".
