Movement against levying of Property Tax

Aam Aadmi Party will meet delegation on 26th

Ludhiana(Rector Kathuria and SK Gogna):The efforts of the Aam Aadmi Party have borne fruit with the Municipal Corporation Zone A Commissioner deputing a delegation of Deputy Directors of Local Bodies to hear the objections which have been raised against imposition of Property Tax.  A meeting of the Aam Aadmi Party members with the delegation will take place on the 26th of this month. 
It is to be noted that protest against the proposed Property Tax became a big issue when the Aam Aadmi Party raised objections to it and submitted a memorandum along with starting a signature campaign in which thousands of citizens of the district participated. “The new property tax will be an additional huge burden on the shoulders of the common man who is already suffering greatly due to high inflation” said Party District Convenor Mr. Harjot Singh. 
The Aam Aadmi Party Awareness campaign resulted in 122 individuals also filing objections to the Property tax in the last 5 days after the party made it an issue of concern for the aam aadmi. AAP will be putting up the perspective of the common man in front of the delegation giving a voice to some serious issues like misuse of already collected funds and rampant corruption which need to be controlled rather than imposition of the new tax. Copies of the signatures collected will also be handed over to the delegation. 
“We will strongly urge the government to revoke its decision on levying of Property tax but if the delegation dismisses all our objections and does not pay serious attention to revoking this new taxation, the Aam Aadmi Party will launch a massive campaign in the city”, said Mr. Balbir Aggarwal, District Secretary.                                                       ====

The Aam Aadmi party members today  outside the Corporation office and met  Municipal Commissioner Mr. Rakesh Verma to protest against the levying of the new property tax and have submitted an ultimatum of 5 days for removal of the tax in the district. The citizens of Ludhiana gathered in large numbers to support the Aam Aadmi party protest against 

Property tax.    

According to the District Secretary of Aam Aadmi Party Mr. Balbir Aggarwal, “The administration instead of focusing on providing better basic amenities to the people, is focusing on thinking up new means of imposing taxes and newer ways of corruption. Projects like removing encroachments from city roads and providing proper sanitation and good roads should be the priority of the local administration and not the desire to find new ways to burden the common man”.

Aam Aadmi members had a long meeting with the officials of the Corporation including the Municipal Commissioner in which they provided proofs of how public money was being pilfered and if the government stopped all that corruption it would have no need to impose new taxes on the Citizens of Ludhiana.

Aam Aadmi party members including District Convenor Mr. Harjot Singh, Mr. Balbir Aggarwal, Mr. Gulshan Kumar, Mr. Suresh Aggarwal, Mr. Bhupinder Singh, Mr. Mohit Mittal, Mr. Raman, Mr. Manjeet Singh, Mr. Ravinder Singh, Mr. Kanav Vats, Mr. Ajay Mittal and Mr. Raghuveer Singh thanked the people of Ludhiana for wholeheartedly supporting the protest against Property tax.

The Party Spokesman Dr. S. S. Butter informed that the party volunteers will be setting up awareness camps in most areas of the city to make people aware about this new tax and also launch an extensive signature campaign against it starting from tomorrow to try and force the District Administration to revoke its decision.
