JAMMU, Apr 5: Launching a scathing attack on Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), senior Congress leader and vice president PCC, Janak Raj Gupta today said that BJP was a communal force pursuing divisive agenda, which was dangerous for a secular country like India.
While addressing two separate meetings at Udhampur, Gupta said, “History gives us testimony that people of different religions, caste, colour came to India and were welcomed by Indians. Secularism is our cultural heritage which has been maintained and pursued by people and Congress party, but BJP-a communal party-having sectarian agenda, is trying to make a dent on our secular heritage”.
Terming Modi wave as a media hype, the Congress leader further said, BJP was solely dependent upon an artificially managed leader who is trying to get votes of the people on myth and dream but the Congress was seeking mandate of the people on the basis of substantiated work done for nation building.
He appealed voters to defeat nefarious designs of communal forces like BJP, which were responsible for several riots and killing of countrymen.
MLC BR Kundal, while highlighting the achievements of UPA Government, said that under Congress regime, India has achieved “near universal education” at the primary school level due to Right to Education and the dropout rates have also decreased.
Both the leaders addressed two meetings at Garhi Udhampur and at Samrat Hotel. The meetings were organized by All India Masih Sewa Dal president Camres David alias Bablu and Udhampur district president of JKPCC, Dimple.
Chairman of Municipal Council Udhampur, Ashok Gupta, senior Congress leaders including Brij Mohan, Pathania also spoke on the occasion.
