JAMMU, Apr 14: National Conference Provincial President Devender Singh Rana today hit out at Pradesh Congress leaders for hobnobbing with Bharatiya Janata Party to disintegrate and trifurcate Jammu and Kashmir.
“A section of the Congress leaders have been working as B-Team of the BJP and furthering its agenda of division, hate and polarization”, Rana said after paying glorious homage to Baba Saheb Bhim Rao Ambedkar on his birth anniversary at a function held at Sher-e-Kashmir Bhavan here this afternoon.
He said those working behind veils are more dangerous than perpetrators of a specific agenda and Congress leaders stand now fully exposed for pushing the State towards communal frenzy. They have all along been working against the unity of the State. It is a vicious circle of the BJP, the PDP and a section in the Congress which is responsible for the prevailing sordid state of affairs.
The National Conference, he said, will expose these elements and fight their machinations by maintaining unity and tranquility, the real strength of the State and strong basis of the single entity of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh.
Referring to behind the scene political maneuvering over generating fear psychosis and creating wedge between the communities in the wake of brutal rape and murder of an eight year old girl in Rasana Kathua, Rana hailed the maturity and political sagacity with which the people across the spectrum foiled these dangerous attempts. He said the people of Jammu, irrespective of caste, creed or religion remained steadfast in their demand for justice to the victim.
Paying tributes to Bharat Ratna Dr Bhim Rao Ambedkar, the Provincial President described him as a visionary statesman, who not only authored the Constitution but also worked tirelessly to foster egalitarian society and shed caste discrimination in the country.
The Provincial President said the best tribute to the great leader would be to imbibe the spirit of inclusiveness which alone can lead the nation towards peace, progress and prosperity. He said Baba Saheb cannot be confined in the myopic prism of party lines, as he belonged to India, lived for India and envisioned great future for India.
Speaking on the occasion, senior National Conference leader and Chairman SC/OBC Cell Babu Ram Paul highlighted the glorious contribution of Dr Ambedkar in heralding a new dawn for people of India in general and weaker and down trodden segments of society in particular.
