JAMMU, Feb 20: Kavinder Gupta, former Deputy Chief Minister and senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader has castigated the Congress party for appointing the tainted party leader, Jagdish Tytler as an elected member of AICC.
He asserted that Congress stands totally exposed by this decision as Tytler has been the main accused of the 1984 riots against the Sikhs. He said that by adopting this stance the Congress party has only intimidated the Sikh brethren by rubbing salt on the wounds of those who suffered most during the shameful 1984 riots in the nation’s Capital.
The senior BJP leader stated this while speaking to media persons on the sidelines of a Bhandara organized at Railway Station Chhani here, today.
While slamming the Congress for the alleged misdeeds Kavinder Gupta also pooh-poohed the Congress leader, Rahul Gandhi for his atrocious statement claiming that the people of Jammu and Kashmir have been denied the democratic rights by the incumbent Government at the Centre and the Union Territory Administration. He said that the re-visit of Rahul Gandhi to Kashmir just days after culmination of ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ is in itself enough proof for him to see that peace stands fully established across Jammu and Kashmir.
Asserting that the incumbent BJP Government deserves full credit for establishing peace in J&K Kavinder Gupta said that the footfall of about 1.82 crore tourists in this Union Territory is more than enough proof of the fact that it is peaceful with people in this region enjoying all the democratic rights as in any other part of the nation. He said Kashmir and its people suffered for more than 30 years only and only due to the misdeeds of Congress and yet again it has made its cheap and demeaning intentions clear by appointing tainted leader Jagdish Tytler as elected member of AICC.
Earlier, in his address to the gathering Kavinder asked the people to preserve rich cultural heritage of J&K and maintain communal harmony and brotherhood at all costs.
