UDHAMPUR, Oct 31: While several leaders of opposition are falling in the lap of BJP one by one, it is only a handful of leaders who are putting up a brave fight against the dictatorial and anti people policies of the present authoritarian regime.
The BJP is resorting to coercion, threats, intimidation, offers and allurements to break the opposition parties in a bid to establish its monopoly in the political landscape of J&K. It is therefore time for the true leadership not to allow the anti-Jammu and anti-people moves of BJP to go unopposed. The people being faced with one of the worst ever crisis due to stalled development, growing unemployment, rampant corruption, unmitigated corona pandemic, power and drinking water problems and raging inflation, it is astonishing to note the Jammu opposition leaders abandoning their respective parties on regular basis and embracing BJP which they termed as anti Jammu in the past,” JKNPP Chairman, Harsh Dev Singh said.
Accusing the BJP of conspiring to break the opposition parties, Harsh Dev observed that the predators of saffron brigade were resorting to all kinds of nefarious moves to crush dissenting voices. Not only were the opposition leaders lured and seduced by the BJP with lucrative offers and promises of better political prospects on abandoning their respect political parties but coercive methods were also being used to make them fall in line. Those opposition leaders who refused to oblige BJP merely on material gains were bullied and browbeaten by using the coercive apparatus of the state. Threats, intimidations, assaults, allurements, detentions and persecutions were the most commonly used tools by the BJP to disintegrate the opposition parties.
He rued that many of its leaders and workers were being seduced or being threatened to quit the party only to weaken the movement launched by it against the anti people, anti Jammu and anti poor policies of BJP besides the betrayal of the latter with the cause of educated unemployed youth of the erstwhile state.
Urging upon the people to strengthen Panthers Party, Singh said that it alone could dispense justice to the common masses, the poor, the down trodden and the marginalized.
