JAMMU, Mar 24: Additional general secretary of National Conference (NC) and former Minister Ajay Kumar Sadhotra today slammed the BJP National general secretary Tarun Chugh for his political naivety and lack of understanding, saying his rhetoric exposes his little knowledge about sensitive Jammu and Kashmir.
Sadhotra was addressing Youth National Conference (YNC) meeting of Block Bhalwal at Nardani in Jammu North Assembly Constituency. The meeting was organized by Gourav Singh Jamwal (Block president YNC).
Reacting to the remarks of Chugh against the NC leadership, Sadhotra said that being forced on the people of J&K as so-called BJP Incharge does not make him expert on the sensitivities of this part of the country, which his ilk tend to be after visiting the State as political adventurers.
Sadhotra asked a pointed question to Chugh as to what and how much he knows about the contribution of NC leadership, especially Sher-e-Kashmir Sheikh Abdullah, Dr Farooq Abdullah and Omar Abdullah. He said Chugh should get his facts checked and he will know that the NC leadership tied the destiny of J&K with Mahatma Gandhi’s secular India by rejecting the two-nation theory and remained in the forefront during horrendous days of the partition holocaust and fought tirelessly elements inimical to peace.
“On the contrary, the BJP worked against the interests of the people of J&K, bruised the psyche of the people by snatching its special status and fragmented the State into two Union Territories,” he said, adding, if Chugh is so confident about his party’s standing in J&K, why double engine government of BJP had been resisting the elections for the past ten years
Meanwhile, during the meeting, office bearers for Bhalwal Block were announced which include Tarun Kumar (senior vice president), Amit Singh Jamwal (senior vice president), Dhananjay Kumar (vice president), Akshit Soodan (vice president), Tarun Kumar (vice president), Vishal Kalotra (vice president), Sunil Kalotra (secretary), Tarun Kumar (secretary), Chowdhary Shabir Ahmed and Chowdhary Sameer (vice presidents).
Others who spoke on the occasion were Dr Rajinder Sharma, Chowdhary Subash Chander, Rakesh Kumar Sharma (district president, YNC Jammu Rural), Randhir Singh Chib, Harshvardhan Singh (NCSU president), Kuldeep Sharma, Mohinder Rana, Gourav Singh Jamwal (block president, YNC), Chowdhary Shabir Ahmed and Chowdhary Sameer.
