Gujjars demand Omar's resignation after NC's poll debacle

“PDP's victory in Kashmir is a testimony that Gujjars and Bakkerwals have given their full support to the party and rejected NC and Congress for backstabbing them”, he claimed and added that the PDP MPs would also highlight the burning issues of these communities in the Parliament.  

Incidentally, Omar yesterday sought to know the reasons from the people of the state for the rejection of NC candidates including party president Farooq Abdullah.  

The community also expressed hope that the new Narendra Modi-led government would work for the welfare and development of the state, especially for the downtrodden communities like the Gujjers and Bakkerwals.

“I hope that the issues of Gujjars and Bakkerwals of the state, like political reservation, recruitment in belt forces, creation of Ministry of Tribal Affairs and others would find a top priority in Modi's agenda for J&K”, Poswal said.
