JAMMU, Oct 3: On the second day of the fast being observed by BJP State president Shamsher Singh Manhas at Dogra Chowk along with other leaders of the party, from different parts of Jammu province participated.
The protestors lashed out at the State Government for not showing any interest in getting the JKCA scam inquired properly.
The day’s programme commenced by paying homage and observance of two-minute silence in the memory of veteran Jana Sangh leader & former Governor Kedar Nath Sahni, who breathed his last this morning at New Delhi.
Addressing the gathering Shamsher Singh Manhas re-iterated party’s demand of handing over the JKCA scam case to CBI, resignation of Dr. Farooq Abdullah from the presidentship of JKCA and reconstitution of JKCA. He said that nothing less than this will be acceptable and that the BJP will continue to agitate till these demands are not met and the guilty brought to justice.
National Executive Member Dr Nirmal Singh said that the Congress led UPA has created history for promoting corruption and shielding the corrupt Ministers and bureaucrats. While BJP led NDA was tough on corruption, militancy and always serious for the welfare and survival of a common citizen, the UPA has only single agenda of making money by any means.
BJP National Executive Member & State Chief Spokesperson Dr. Jitendra Singh said that Gandhi Ji was of the opinion that in public life, fast (satyagrah) is most self effacing method of registering protest and therefore the 48-hour fast programme undertaken by State unit under its President will go down as a selfless effort to establish moral values in public life.
State Vice President Chander Prakash Ganga, said that the leaders of other political parties who claimed to be against the corruption, should also join hands with BJP in its crusade against corruption.
