JAMMU, Jan 23: Apni Party Provincial President, Jammu, and Former Minister, S. Manjit Singh has demanded end to the discrimination against the Schedule Castes in Jammu and Kashmir. The Former Minister was chairing a meeting of the Schedule Caste community in Samba.

The meeting was also attended by State General Secretary, SC Wing, Capt. Joginder, District President SC Wing, Samba, Ex-Sarpanch, Sham Lal Bhagat, and others. During the meeting, a detailed deliberation was held regarding the Schedule Caste community, development of their localities, job opportunities, discrimination in the society and their demands.

While speaking on the occasion, the Former Minister expressed his shock over the ground situation in Samba where the SC community has allegedly been discriminated against and ignored regarding their jobs and development. He said that the residential colonies of the SC community are witness to the underdevelopment and discriminatory approach of the authorities.

“The selective approach towards their colonies needs the highest level of condemnation. The authorities work as per the wishes of political parties and ignore those who have no political affiliation. The victim of this biased approach is the Schedule Caste community,” he added, while citing several examples where the colonies were ignored regarding proper road connectivity, underdeveloped lanes and drains. He however assured the SC community that the Apni Party would not allow any kind of discrimination with them, if it forms the next Govt in Jammu and Kashmir.

He also highlighted the welfare schemes of the Party that would help the neglected class of society for social, economic, educational, and political upliftment. “We believe in the equal empowerment of all sections of society,” he added. Meanwhile, he also issued certain directions to the Party cadre to work for the welfare of the SC and other marginalized sections of society.
