Srinagar Dec 13 (KNS): Congress today expressed serious concern over the losses cause to Hoteliers and other business community in Jammu as well as in Kashmir due to the cancellation of annual Darbar Move.
The Party said it stands vindicated, terming the cancellation of Darbar move a big blunder committed by the BJP Govt at Centre while extending wholehearted support to Hoteliers, lodge owners in both Jammu & Kashmir, who have suffered huge business losses due to the cancellation of annual “Darbar Move”, a practice which the Govt functioned six months in Jammu and six months in Srinagar.
Former Jammu and Kashmir Congress President Ghulam Ahmad Mir has said that Congress Party stands vindicated and said the cancellation of Darbar Move has badly impacted the Hoteliers and Business community in Jammu as well as in Kashmir. The annual Darbar which used to function six months in Srinagar and six in Jammu was big source of economy to people in both the provinces, but the unexpected move of the BJP Govt has snatched the livelihood of people, pushing them towards economic backwardness, which is very unfortunate and highly condemnable on the part of BJP Govt at Centre
Since the BJP Govt assumed Power at Centre, besides dissolving the State Legislature besides downgrading the State into two UTs people particularly business community, hoteliers, SS Unit holders, fruit growers, Tourism, Trade, daily earners and other sectors have suffered huge business losses due to the policies adopted by it(BJP Govt) towards J&K, Mir added.
Former JKPCC President said Congress wholeheartedly supports the demand of people of Jammu and Kashmir especially hoteliers and business community reiterating that the annual Darbar Move must be restored to ensure that economy of both the provinces is safeguarded and people live with honour & dignity as they used live during 75 years’ post-independence.
Mir cautioned the BJP Govt about the rising restlessness among the business community and people as well and urged the Centre to stop terrorizing people by enacting different laws which suits it aiming to rule J&K directly, the mismanagement of things and misrule on the part of BJP Govt has pushed people to wall, Mir rued.(KNS)
