Srinagar, Mar 16 (KNS): Government is adopting half-hearted approach about the wellbeing of Gujjars, Bakerwals and Nomads depriving them of the facilities they are entitled such as mobile school facility, electricity, water supply, BPL status and old age pension, J&K Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) President G.A. Mir said this today.
Mentioning that Govt has forgotten the Gujjars, Bakerwals, Nomads in every respect, G.A. Mir described the present dispensation as anti-backward, asked the Govt to change its attitude towards the poor and backward classes living in the State. He said one wonders as to why the Govt is non serious about the difficulties confronting these backward sections of the State.
He said these backward communities are being pushed to darkness under a well-planned strategy, depriving people, particularly backward class, of their basic rights merely on political lines is highly objectionable and condemnable and the Govt needs to change its policies towards them.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp Channel
He added the Congress Party alone has taken various revolutionary steps for the upliftment of poor and downtrodden sections of the State besides ensuring various centrally sponsored schemes for the development of Gujjars Bakerwals and Nomads, but one fails to understand why the approach of present dispensation is callous about the wellbeing of these poor classes.
Mir warned the Govt of serious consequences, if it fails to change its attitude towards these poor classes of the State, he emphasized the need for providing mobile School facility, Water Supply, BPL status, old age pension and others facilities to these backward classes of the State in order to ensure their development, on priority basis.
