The members of the coordination committee of the All Party Sangharsh Samiti met late on Wednesday evening and discussed the press statement issued by the Centre, after the conclusion of the all party meeting, called by Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh [Images], in Delhi.

" This is a canard that had been spread by the vested interests. In fact, the government has directed the Army to ensure that the vehicular traffic, carrying food and other essential supplies, reaches Srinagar [Images]. This again proves our charge that no matter who is at the helm of affairs, there is always an attempt to appease the Muslim community at the cost of the Hindus," he said.

Sant Sharma, another member of the Samiti, said that though Jammu was larger in terms area, it had only 37 representatives in the state assembly while Kashmir had 46 seats.

Another agitator claimed that though Jammu contributes 70 per cent of the state's revenues, it received only thirty per cent of it while the rest was spent on Kashmir. The Amarnath land row had given the people of Jammu an opportunity to express their pent up feelings, he claimed.
