JAMMU, July 1: The June 26 will always be remembered as black day in the history of Indian democracy as the democracy was murdered by the Congress for the sake of power on this day. This was stated by BJP State President Jugal Kishore Sharma while addressing a massive public rally at Polo Ground, Leh, to remember the black day when emergency was imposed in the country.
The rally was also addressed by Member of Parliament & J&K Prabhari Avinash Rai Khanna, National Executive Member & former MP Thupstan Chewang, State general secretary (Org.) Ashok Kaul and Leh district president Tseering Dorjey.
He said that June 26, 1975 was the black day when then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi to quell nation-wide resentment and anger against the misrule of Congress Government and for its politics of divide and deceit, imposed emergency.
Commenting on the working of State’s NC-Congress coalition, he said that the Omar Government has adopted the pattern of Congress-led UPA as a result of which the State has earned the distinction of being most corrupt State. He said notwithstanding claims by the Government the people of Leh and Ladakh are suffering due to lack of electricity, drinking water, ration etc.
Addressing the rally Avinash Rai Khanna, said that it is most unfortunate that air travel to Singapore is cheaper than the fair from Delhi to Leh. He said that during the recent days the people of Ladakh were forced to pay more than Rs. 2000 air fair from Leh to New Delhi.
He said that the entire cold desert region of Ladakh has the potential to attract quality and high paying tourists but in absence of appropriate incentives like reasonable air fair, adequate infrastructure and the adventure loving people prefer other destinations than Ladakh.
Ashok Kaul, who chaired the meetings of the party activists at Leh and Kargil to take stock of the organizational setup and discussed the future course of action regarding the forthcoming election to the Kargil Hill Development Council said that the party in entire Ladakh is receiving overwhelming response from the people who are eagerly looking towards it for the future betterment of the region as also for the entire country.
Thupstan Chewang said that the people of Ladakh have always been betrayed by the Congress and NC during all these years after independence and nothing concrete has been done to mitigate the sufferings of the people who are even deprived of basic amenities.
