Jammu, 09-May : Rattan Lal Gupta, Provincial President Jammu and Kashmir National Conference (JKNC) Jammu today asserted that the Party will protect jobs and land rights of permanent residents of Jammu and Kashmir if voted to power in the upcoming Assembly elections in the state.In a statement issued to media here to CNS today, the senior NC leader said that presently there is huge resentment among people across Jammu and Kashmir against BJP for not fulfilling promises made with people after August 5, 2019. He strongly opposed the new laws imposed in Jammu and Kashmir and anti-people and anti-youth decision taken by the government at the Centre since August 5, 2019.He said not to talk of the fulfillment of the tall promises, the incumbent Govt has miserably failed even to safeguard the rights of permanent residents of Jammu and Kashmir over the land and jobs in this Union Territory. He said that the non-locals have been allotted land and provided jobs in J&K thus usurping the rights of the natives which is intolerable. Rattan Lal Gupta asserted that the failure of the government can be well gauged from the fact that the unemployment graph in the state keeps on pushing upward with each passing day as the Central Govt despite multiple promises made in this regard failed to bring job oriented policies for youth of Jammu and Kashmir. As if all this wasn’t enough that the Govt created congenial atmosphere for the Jammu and Kashmir to become a hub of recruitment scams thus plunging the future of the youth of J&K into darkness as a result of which the youth of J&K is engulfed in utter despair and pessimism
