JKNPP to protest outside Parliament over AIIMS issue

The Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party (JKNPP) will hold a demonstration outside the Parliament in Delhi on June 18 to demand setting up of AIIMS in Jammu.
"The JKNPP leaders and workers will hold a demonstration outside the Parliament House on June 18 to press for the return of AIIMS to Jammu," he said.
Attacking the BJP of "betraying" the people of Jammu, JKNPP chairman Harsh Dev Singh said, "We will fight till the end, we will fight till we get the AIIMS sanctioned for Jammu back".
He alleged that the BJP has compromised on the issues that were "once dear" to the saffron party.

"They have befooled the people of Jammu by joining hands with the PDP, for the sake of sharing power," Singh said.
Apart from holding a demonstration in Delhi, the JKNPP activists will also intensify agitation in Jammu by holding protests at every thesil headquarters.

"The agitation is aimed at sending a message to the people in power that the residents of Jammu will never compromise on their rights and we will raise their voice at every appropriate forum," he said.
JKNPP President Balwant Singh Mankotia said said that the government has become "mute spectator" when anti-national activities have increased in the state.

"Be it raising of pro-Pakistan and pro-ISIS flags in Jammu and Kashmir, be it pro-Khalistan agitation, the government has become a mute spectator," he said.
