JAMMU, Apr 10: Working president of JKPCC and former minister Raman Bhalla today said that divisive forces are attempting to turn our diversity against us but India will reject hatred and vicious agenda cannot go on any longer.
While leading Jai Bharat Satyagrah March in Ward -57 Model Town from Marakhri in Jammu South today Bhalla said under BJP rule, there is a palpable economic crisis brewing — joblessness among the youth, unbearable price rise, severe farm distress, and a complete corporate capture of the country’s wealth.
“Today, even our plurality is under threat. Divisive forces are attempting to turn our diversity against us — different religions, communities, regions are being pitted against each other. These forces, which are only a handful in number, know that only when people feel insecure and scared can they sow the seeds of hatred for the ‘other’. But after Jai Bharat Satyagrah Yatra, I am convinced that this vicious agenda has its limits, and it cannot go on any longer,” he added.
Congress during its tenure created economic prosperity for everyone – right price for farmers’ produce, jobs for our youth, fair distribution of the country’s wealth, an enabling environment for MSMEs and entrepreneurs, cheaper diesel, a stronger rupee, and a gas cylinder for Rs 500,” he said.
The people of our country realised that they cannot reach their full potential unless they embrace our diversity and work shoulder to shoulder, he said. There is need to rise above caste, religion, language, gender, and all other differences that cause rifts in a society. Our greatness lies in our Unity in Diversity,” said Bhalla.
We will carry forward the vision and values of those who gave us our extraordinary Constitution,” Bhalla said.
Cong leader flayed the alleged propaganda launched by BJP leadership on making massive developments in J&K and said that reality is that only public miseries and chaos were created during the last nine years in J&K. He said that BJP is trying to divert the attention of public from basic issues.
Prominent among those who joined March include Corporator Inderjeet Kour, Rajinder Singh Randhawa, Ashok Kumar, Madan Lal, Janak Raj, Gurjeet Singh, Kuldeep Raj, Ramesh Lal, Waryam Chand besides others.
