Shiv Sena against the shifting of Cremation Ground for AIIMS Premises
Shiv Sena today submitted a memorandum to Lt. Governer through the
Div .Com Jammu. The memorandum was given by the Shiv Sena state president Ashwani Gupta along with senior leaders like Mohinder Pal, Kuldeep Singh, Sanjay Bhat along with Sanjeev Sharma.The memorandum was as under:-
It is a matter of great satisfaction that the construction of AIIMS at Vijaypur is near completion, and people of Jammu will not have to move to Amritsar or Jalandhar for medical treatment.
It has come to our knowledge that Hindu cremation ground that existed near the present AIIMS premises since times immemorial, is being shifted to some other location. Simultaneously other religious structures, erected illegally around this site are not being touched.
We have strong objection to this kind of step motherly treatment towards peace loving Hindu community viz a viz a viz encroachers.
We very humbly request your good self to look into the matter to ensure that ancient Hindu cremation ground is not shifted and in case it is a must for the development of the institution, all other religious structures of other religions should also be removed.
We are continuously receiving feelers of resentment for the selective removal of Hindu cremation ground.
