JAMMU, Nov 8: While taking a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his J&K package, former Minister and PCC vice president Sham Lal Sharma described it just jugglery of figures and a total eye wash. He said the package has nothing significant and includes those funds which are meant for already ongoing projects in the State.
Speaking in a public meeting at Akhnoor today, Sham Lal said that the Prime Minister did not address any of the issues pertaining to refugees from Pakistan, internally-displaced Kashmiri Hindus and displaced persons from PoJK. Nor did he announce any political package to end injustice with the people of the region.
The PM also didn’t announce AIIMS for Jammu. He only said AIIMS will be established and it will benefit the people of Kashmir and the people of Jammu. He also didn’t announce Smart City for Jammu. This package has been given for payments of projects already undertaken by previous UPA Govt and those projects which were already sanctioned and were in pipeline. There is nothing new and Jammu region has been ignored again. He blamed state BJP who fails to tell their national leadership about the political and socio-economic aspirations of Jammu people.
Criticising PM for totally ignoring Jammu and humiliating people here, Mr Sharma appealed to all political workers and local’s of Akhnoor to join Congress Party’s called “Secretariat Gherao” on November 9, to seek redressal of their grievances. It is high time for them to get united against BJP’s betrayal, he maintained.
Mr Sharma launching a scathing attack on BJP who have learned a bitter lesson as the Bihar Assembly election results have exposed the real face of BJP & Modi. He said that Modi’s false agenda and fake slogans have being busted by the people of Bihar. He felicitated the people of Bihar who have shown great wisdom in stopping the fast running Communal frenzy created by BJP for the sake of grabbing power.
Expressing serious concern over the rising prices, the Congress leader said that the Central led BJP Government is giving people the “Bure Din” feel as the basic amenities are going beyond people’s purchase limit. Mr Sharma accused the BJP-PDP Government as a utter failure to pull up the concerned departments. He said CAPD has failed to ensure supply of ration and specially sugar for the last more than two months.
