In his presidential address, party J&K chief, Ravinder Raina took a dig at Congress party and its leadership for dividing the country in 1947 just for sake of power. He said late Congress leader Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru divided country to bring Congress to power and become Prime Minister himself. The Rahul Gandhi who is leading Bharat Jodo Yatra owes an answer to nation, Raina added.
He while taking on the Congress said that Nehru insulted great leaders like Netaji Subash Chander Bose and gifted a big portion of J&K to Pakistan on plater. He asked why Nehru declared cease- fire with Pakistan in 1947 when Indian forces had chased the invaders and they were to vacate the entire land of J&K? The Congress should give answer to great historic blunders committed by the party, he added.
Rains said Rahul Gandhi should be thankful to late Shayama Prasad Mookherjee, the founder president of Jana Sangh who laid down his life to abolish permit system otherwise the Congress leader had to seek permit for entering J&K. The Congress was responsible for introducing Article 370 into Indian Constitution that gave separate Constitution and Flag to J&K thereby sowing the seeds of separatism in the erstwhile State, he added.
