JAMMU, Feb 28: Jammu Pradesh United Front has given a call for Jammu Bandh tomorrow in protest against the formation of BJP-PDP alliance Government, calling it a betrayal and sell out of mandate of the people of Jammu.
Talking to media persons, here today, JPUF convener Balwant Singh Mankotia (Ex-MLA of Panthers Party) said that it was a matter of shock that an alliance between BJP and PDP had been finalized on an agenda which seemed to be betrayal of people of Jammu. “A fraud is being perpetuated in which everything that people of Jammu hold sacrosanct is being hostaged to a party which has been advocating shared sovereignty and joint management of Jammu and Kashmir with Pakistan,” he said.
“It is an irony that a party which claims the legacy of Shyama Prasad Mukherjee has betrayed everything for which the great soul of India laid down his life. Very soon BJP MLA and Ministers will be moving in official vehicles having two flags which will be a burial to the concept of `One Nation, One Flag’,” he further said and added that Shyama Prasad Mukherjee has been buried to the annals of history and it is final adieu of the deception master and pseudo-nationalist BJP to the core ideology of erstwhile Jana Sangh.
Reminding BJP of its promises made with the people of Jammu before elections, the JPUF leader sought to know the party stand on Article 370, Citizenship rights to West Pakistan refugees, reservation of Assembly seats for PoK refuges etc after coming to power. “Nothing of the sort has been reflected in what has been leaked by PDP on the framing of CMP,” Mankotia said.
