Regional events, together with the National Conference and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on Saturday opposed implementation of the not too long ago launched property tax, first time ever, in J&{K}.
NC basic secretary Ali Muhammad Sagar, who chaired a gathering in the Srinagar constituency on Saturday, “expressed concern over the imposition of property tax”.
“Amidst depressing economic activity and soaring unemployment, the government of India, far from doling out fiscal help and other supportive measures, wants to suck the life and blood of people. The imposition of the property tax has come at a time when the economy is reeling under slowdown and will overburden people,” Mr. Sagar.
He stated the companies have crumbled and other people have misplaced their jobs in J&{K} after the unilateral abrogation of Articles 370, 35-A.
PDP chief Waheed-ur-Rehman Parra stated, “The government is justifying August 5 in the name of development. However, in ‘Naya Kashmir’ non-locals get domiciles, jobs, land, contracts, houses under real estate policy, financial aid under the PM package, while those who live here will face property tax on own properties.”
