NC betrayed J&K again: Khatana

Jammu, Aug 9: Senior BJP leader and Rajya Sabha MP Gulam Ali Khatana has accused the National Conference (NC) of cheating people with false promises and failing to deliver on commitments despite being in power in the Union Territory for the past nine months or so.

BJP MP was interacting with the people during the ‘Janata Darbar’ he convened in Jammu on Friday.

A large number of people from different sections of the society turned up to flag pressing issues ranging from basic civic amenities to local disputes, etc. Residents said their problems had remained unresolved despite having approached the authorities a number of times.

The MP alleged that the NC leadership was more interested in holding power than addressing public concerns and said this approach was hurting the people of J&K.

“Once again, the people of J&K have been let down. There is no progress on even basic issues,” he said. Their indifference is costing the people dearly,” he remarked.

Khatana also visited the family of Parvez Ahmad from Javed Nagar, Nikki Tawi, who was recently killed. He offered condolences and assured the family that he would take up the matter at the appropriate level.

Reiterating his commitment to public issues, the BJP MP said he would continue to raise such matters in every forum and seek action from the administration.
