NC trying to vitiate atmosphere in J&K: Sat, Raina
Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Nov 6: Strongly condemning the resolution on restoration of Special status to J&K, which was passed by the Assembly earlier in the day the BJP’s Jammu and Kashmir unit staged a protest here, today.
The resolution has sought a dialogue between the Centre and elected representatives for the restoration of the special status of the erstwhile State.
Led by party president, Sat Paul Sharma, BJP workers came out of the party Headquarters at Trikuta Nagar in the outskirts of the city this afternoon and set ablaze a joint effigy of Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah and his Deputy, Surinder Choudhary amid slogans against the National Conference-led Government.
They also shouted slogans against the Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah and Deputy Chief Minister, Surinder Choudhary who moved the resolution for restoring the erstwhile State’s special status, which was revoked by the Centre on August 5, 2019.
Criticising the NC Government led by Omar Abdullah, BJP president, Sat Sharma said that NC is trying to vitiate atmosphere in the UT. He said educated people of the UT can’t be befooled any more by the NC and Congress leadership as they are mature enough and can see through their game plan, he added.
Sat said that the people know that the NC and Congress is trying to disturb the peace in the UT and this will not be tolerated any more. “There was total peace in the UT during Lt Governor’s rule and elections were held in a peaceful atmosphere. Now they are trying to disturb the same”, he added.
Sat said that BJP always stood for national cause and protection of national interests in the country. But the ruling alliance wants to create unrest in the UT again. He also turned tables on the Deputy CM for tabling the resolution. “He who tabled the resolution is a Jai Chand and this will not be tolerated as he has played with the sentiments of the nationalist people”, he added.
“Article 370 has become part of history and the NC through this resolution made an attempt to revive it,” Sharma told reporters.
Sharma said Choudhary was “Jammu’s Jaichand” and added that he had taken votes to safeguard the interests of Jammu but is trying to disturb the environment here by moving the resolution.
He said the National Conference is fully aware that Article 370 cannot be restored as long as Narendra Modi is the Prime Minister and Amit Shah is the Home Minister, even if they pass thousands of such resolutions.
Former J&K BJP president, Ravinder Raina, who was also present in the protest, slammed the NC and its coalition partner Congress and said “by bringing the resolution, they have betrayed the nation”.
“Article 370 gave birth to separatism and terrorism in J&K and was buried by the BJP-led Central Government to restore peace in the region. We know such resolutions will not help in the restoration of the revoked Constitutional provision,” he said.
He asserted if one lakh such resolutions are passed still 370 can’t be restored in the J&K and termed the resolution an antinational move of ruling alliance.
