Jammu, Dec 19: Democratic Progressive Azad Party (DPAP) leaders have asked the party workers in RS Pura to reach out to the people and ensure massive participation in the upcoming public rally of Chairman Ghulam Nabi Azad.
Addressing workers of Suchetgarh constituency, Party’s General Secretary RS Chib said the former chief minister is scheduled to address a rally on December 23. “We are expecting a massive participation of people in the rally. Chairman Ghulam Nabi Azad will be addressing this historic rally at RS Pura constituency,” he said.
Chib said hundreds of party workers are already on the job and preparing for this mega political activity. Hoping that people from all walks of life would join the rally, he said, “The people of the area remember the golden era of development during the tenure of Azad as chief minister in the erstwhile State.”
Party’s Vice Chairman G M Saroori said the DPAP led by Azad is committed to fighting and securing jobs and land rights of the people of J&K. He said once they form the government, they will ensure the laws are strengthened to ensure the resources especially lands and jobs are secured for local people only.
“We have no other option other than to fight for the security of government jobs and lands which are our primary resources to run our economy,” Saroori said, adding, “After Article 370 abrogation and the Supreme Court ruling to uphold the August 5, 2019 decision, the laws are very fragile and weak to protect our resources and assets,” he said.
