JAMMU, Apr 13: State spokesperson of Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) Brig Anil Gupta today said that Congress-NC claim of being secular is much farther from truth, which is clear from the statements of their senior leaders
Elaborating his claim, Brig Gupta said that Congress president Rahul Gandhi, while interacting with Muslim intellectuals had proudly proclaimed that “Yes, Congress is the party of Muslims.” Moreover, Congress leader Sagheer Saeed Khan in a press conference at their party Headquarters in Jammu had talked of ‘bringing a law to hang BJP leaders’ while in the same breath he had announced 1 crore cash relief and Government jobs for the families of terrorists.
Exploitation of minorities for their vote bank politics is the hall mark of Congress and their “appeasement policy” of the minorities at the cost of Majority and opposition to Triple Talaq Bill is nothing but communal, stated Brig Gupta.
“NC which was formed as a Muslim Conference and all through has promoted only the interest of Kashmiri Muslims including the support of the concept of ‘Greater Kashmir’, division of Jammu province on religious lines, refuses to grant citizenship to Hindu West Pakistan refugees, opposes deportation of Rohingiyas and Bangladesh Muslims, opposes introduction of word ‘secular’ in the preamble of the State’s Constitution and is responsible for mass exodus of Kashmiri hindus, is today singing the chorus of saving nation’s secular fabric,” said Brig Gupta.
Reacting to JKPCC president GA Mir’s statement that BJP believes in divisive politics, Brig Gupta retorted that no communal riot has taken place in the country during the last five years and compare that with the earlier tenures of Congress and you will get the answer yourself. “Why does Congress always seek support of the Church and Shahi Imam and local Imam’s who issue directions/fatwas to vote in favour of Congress candidate? Is it inclusive or divisive politics, Mir needs to answer,” rued Brig Gupta.
