NPP calls for Jammu ‘bandh’ on April 24

Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party (JKNPP) Tuesday called for a ‘bandh’ in Jammu region on April 24 to protest against shifting of AIIMS to Kashmir.
“JKNPP announces ‘Jammu bandh’ on April 24 in protest against denial of the region a prestigious AIIMS project due to surrender of BJP to Kashmir centric politics,” JKNPP Chairman and former minister Harsh Dev Singh told reporters in Jammu.
Singh lambasted the BJP-PDP coalition for perpetuating the policy of “bias” against Jammu region by shifting Rs 1600 crore prestigious project to Kashmir despite it being “sanctioned for Jammu”.
“Everything is being taken away to Kashmir after having robbed Jammu of the prestigious AIIMS project,” Singh said.
