JAMMU, Nov 10: Hitting out at BJP for misleading people on the recent resolution which seeks special status for the protection of land jobs and natural resources and cultural identity, JKPCC senior leader and chief spokesperson Ravinder Sharma has said that land, jobs protections are more important for Jammu region.
Accusing BJP of misleading people on the issue of recent resolution passed by J&K Assembly seeking special status, he said that BJP can go to any extent to befool people on the emotional issues, as there is no mention of Article 370/35-A but BJP top leadership cried hoarse to mislead the nation against the Congress Party:in the wake of Maharashtra and Jharkhand elections.
Sharma said that Congress stands committed to fight for restoration of full Statehood with special status to safeguard land, jobs, natural resources and the cultural identity likewise available in Himachal Pradesh and over dozen other States of the country including North Eastern States.
The present resolution also seeks restoration of special status which means full Statehood and Constitutional guarantees for land jobs, natural resources and cultural identity of Jammu and Kashmir but BJP tried to create a wrong notion but people have been seeking these rights.
Jammu has suffered most in the last five years post abrogation of special status as our land, jobs and resources are being taken over by outsiders very rapidly and our future generations will suffer.
Senior Congress leader said that it is in the best interests of all that along with full Statehood, the special constitutional guarantees on the pattern of Himachal Pradesh and North Eastern States, worked out after a dialogue with the elected representatives of Jammu and Kashmir, as demanded in the resolution.
The national spokesperson of BJP Amit Malviya had rightly welcomed the resolution but later the BJP saw politics into it, to exploit emotional card for the sake of vote bank politics in view of Assembly elections in Maharashtra and Jharkhand.
