Summary:
Jammu, Oct 10 (PTI) Devender Singh Rana, who resigned from the National Conference on Sunday, said his ‘Jammu declaration’ is a political roadmap and he will single-mindedly work for it even at the peril of his political career.
Rana, who was provincial president of the NC for the Jammu region, along with senior party colleague and former minister Surjit Singh Slathia, resigned from the basic membership of the party on Sunday.
They are likely to join the BJP in Delhi on Monday.
“Jammu declaration is a way forward for respecting the urges and aspirations of all the regions and sub-regions of Jammu and Kashmir with none being discriminated against or dominated politically, socially and economically,” Rana, who is the brother of Union minister Jitendra Singh, said.
“Each one, irrespective of region, religion or caste must have equal rights on resources and in governance.
Fair play and justice should not only be the bedrock of the political system but even the perception of one being appeased at the cost of other due to politico-strategic expediencies should become an imperative of the past,” he added.
