NEW DELHI, May 4: Vowing allegiance to the sanctity of the Tricolour and counter the anti-national and secessionist ideology in the backdrop of sedition rows in several parts of the country and Kashmir in particular, the Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party (NPP) took out an impressive ‘Tiranga rally’ from Lal Quila ( Delhi) to Lal Chowk, Srinagar (Kashmir) to spread the message of national integrity, unity and harmony.
The rally being spearheaded by Harsh Dev Singh chairman of the NPP, Balwant Singh Mankotia State president and Yashpal Kundal (Ex-MLA) was flagged off by Prof Bhim Singh, chief patron of the party from the historic Lal Quila here today. Infuriated over the NIT Kashmir row which led to the exodus of nationalist students from the Valley, Harsh Dev addressing the media admonished BJP for remaining tight lipped over the biased indictment of the students by the appointed enquiry officer. He said that the State police invoking numerous criminal charges against the out stationed students for confronting anti-national students and waving Tricolour inside the institute had only unveiled the treacherous character of the Saffron party.
He revealed that ever since the BJP had taken reigns both at the Centre and the State, the country witnessed numerous conflicts within. Mr Singh lambasted BJP for its hollow slogan of ‘Zero tolerance’ and added that on one side BJP persistently thumped its chest over the detention of student leaders during the JNU sedition row but succumbed to the dictates of PDP over the amnesty given to the stone pelters and anti- nationals during the NIT row, on the other.
Harsh Dev said that it was very shocking for the nation when the power hungry BJP forged an alliance with its Kashmir centric PDP which had been a strong admirer of Afzal Guru and other secessionist forces. He said that the dominance of the latter over the former was clearly visible during the release of a separatist leader and a malefactor Masrat Alam by the State Government last year. He said that the effort of the BJP Govt to suppress the student agitation had further emboldened the anti national forces all across the country and that was the reason that NPP decided to hold the Tiranga rally in the national interest.
