DSS braces to assist framing Union Territory
Today the 27th of August 2019 Th. Gulchain Singh Charak Former Minister President Dogra Sadar Sabha and convener All Jammu Civil Society Forum addressing the press conference said that soon after his release from house arrest he had summoned the core groups of Dogra Sadar Sabha and AJCSF to deliberate upon the restructuring of the J&K State into the union territory (UT). Although some members felt that the Jammu region deserved a separate statehood but they reconciled with the government decision till situation normalizes in the few disturbed parts of the Kashmir valley.
He told that the DSS is on the same page with the government of India and want to convey to the reorganizing committee framed by the government for Jammu and Kashmir after the abrogation of art 370 and 35-A that they have been assigned the most responsible task of designing the fate of the posterity for generations to come.
Such a herculean task can’t be completed in a short span of time within the confines of an office as it demands wider consultations to cover bigger futuristic horizons. One slip today can ruin the lives of the generations to come. So, those undertaking this magnificent task must co-opt right-thinking nationalists from the society on board to carve out the destinies of future; without ignoring/ silencing the aspirations, feelings and sentiments of even the smallest of sections of society.
The DSS feels that the nation and even the national media over the years, under the ‘K’ hype, its terror, bloodshed and lawless agitations have overlooked the peaceful, law abiding, silent, accommodating Dogra region where every village has statues and echoes with stories of supreme sacrifices of dogras in the line of duty for the cause of the nation.
DSS in order to assist in this great ambition of GOI in rewriting the new chapter in the history of Jammu and Kashmir has decided to prepare a ‘vision document’ taking on board intellectuals, luminaries from across all the sections of the society so that the Jammu province, the hub of nationalist forces, which remained suppressed as a mute spectator, so far. This region put up with all the Kashmir centric policies of the centre since independence. It should now, not remain un-obtrusive and get its due place as founders, defenders, consolidators who have now grown as the cosmopolitan true representatives of all regions, communities, religions and cultures of the three main regions that comprised the erstwhile J&K State. They need to be given justified share of voice and recognition in the new arrangements.
For this, a committee has been constituted with the distinguished warrior turned journalist Col Dr. Virendra K Sahi, VrC, as convener, historian Prof Anita Billawaria, Ex DC Sh G.A Khwaja, Brig M. S. Jamwal (Retd), Adv S. Hukumat Singh, President Anjuman-e-Imamia Syed Amanat Ali Shah, with In Charge Youth wing Adv. Sh. Gambhir Dev Charak as Co-Convener. They have been assigned the task of taking suggestions from all sections of the society on war footing so as to prepare the “Vision Document”- as a consolidated nationalist voice of all the citizens of J&K. The document so produced will be submitted to the president of India, Prime Minister, Home Minister, Governor J&K and other important functionaries in the government with the sole aim to safeguard the interest of Jammu region, within the UT frame, which faced neglect for the last 72 years and was reduced to secondary citizenship. The document is required to be prepared within seven days and views from all nationalist thinkers and well wishers are invited to reach DSS Office by 31st Aug 2019. Before addressing the press conference Th. G. S. Charak has been arrested and man handled.
