RAJOURI, Dec 23: Congress and the then Prime Minister, Jawahar Lal Nehru mistreated Baba Saheb on multiple occasions. The documents and the facts exposing the hatred of Congress for Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar are in the public domain.
This was stated by Sat Sharma, president, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Jammu & Kashmir, while addressing workers along with Vibodh Gupta, party’s general secretary regarding active membership at BJP office here.
Sat Sharma highlighted the BJP’s efforts to give honour to the chief architect of the Indian Constitution, Dr. BR Ambedkar.
He said that Congress refrained from conferring the Bharat Ratna to B.R. Ambedkar for several decades while conferring the award to their own people. The Union Government backed by the BJP finally ensured the highest civilian award to the great visionary.
Sat Sharma accused the Congress of being factually opposed to Dr. Ambedkar and his vision. He said that the Congress party ensured that Dr. Ambedkar was defeated in the Lok Sabha elections more than once to end his political career and weaken his ideology.
Sharma said that Congress refrained from the display of Baba Saheb’s portrait in Parliament and refused the creation of a memorial for Ambedkar in his birthplace, Mhow. Now, the BJP created “Panchteerth” and created multiple memorials in Dr. Ambedkar’s honour and propagated his ideology and life works in the society.
He further said that the PM Modi-led Government declared January 26 as Constitution Day (Samvidhan Divas) to honour Dr Ambedkar.
Sat Sharma also attacked the NC party for a U-turn on its poll promises and said that they had deceived the people of Jammu & Kashmir.
Vibodh Gupta spoke on the BJP’s proactive approach to the socio-economic welfare of the people living the remote areas of the region. He said that while the parties like Congress, NC, and PDP enjoyed the power corridors for decades together and amassed wealth for their future generations, they did nothing for the welfare of the people.
Dinesh Sharma, Ch. Talib, Ch Zulfikar, Iqbal Malik, Manzoor Naik, Pushpinder, Jugal Sharma, were among the senior leaders present in the meeting.
