AKHNOOR, July 31: Former Minister and senior Congress leader Sham Lal Sharma has said that Congress is committed to guard Jammu cause while BJP has been exposed for its ‘pro-separatist’ stand.
Addressing meeting of  Block Congress Committee at Panchayat Grattal, Zone Maira Mandrian today Congress leader  warned BJP for its  pro-separatist stand and soft corner for terrorists and said it will cast serious political repercussions if continued unabated.
He criticized DyCM Nirmal Singh for his remarks  and termed it as unfortunate. He said that BJP leader is setting aside national interest and trying to strangulate voice of Jammu people. They all seems to be running another PDP camp in Jammu.
Sharma said that Jammu people have no more faith on those whom they voted to power but speaking the same language of their new Kashmir political masters.
He asserted that  BJP has surrendered before Kashmiri separatists and are all set to initiate dialogue with them, but will not allow by other two regions, Jammu and Ladakh to go ahead till day too, be invited to participate in any such political initiatives.
He said that empowerment of Jammu has become imperative to fulfill not only popular aspirations but to nourish and re-strengthen the damaged democratic dimensions and national interest.
Showing his resentment Sham Lal alleged that all development works started during his tenure remains there, where left.  He urged upon Jammu people to wake up, take note of the recent ongoing volatile situation in Kashmir due to utter failure of Coalition Government. The Govt has turned clueless and  has lost control over administration. The  BJP Ministers are making hay while the sun shine and there seems to be no bond between public and their MLAs.
Prominent among those resent included Kuldeep Raj Verma, Subash Langer, Krishan Lal Bhagat, Krishan Lal, Capt Naseeb Singh, Rattan Chand, Surjit Singh, Didar Hussain and Naresh Dutt.
