JAMMU, Sept 20: Holding NC, Congress and PDP fully responsible for the bloodshed in Kashmir during the past over three decades, senior BJP leader and party candidate for Jammu North constituency, Sham Lal Sharma today said that the higher poll percentage in the Valley was made possible due to hard and serious efforts of the BJP Government headed by PM Narendra Modi in Centre.
Addressing a series of public gatherings in Jammu North segment, Sham said that top leadership of National Conference (NC), Congress and PDP are desperate to see the high percentage and peaceful polling in Kashmir valley for the first time after the three decades of militancy. Earlier, he added, the elections were being held under the shadow of militancy in Kashmir, without any enthusiasm and dismal involvement of people and only selected people and agents of NC, Congress and PDP used to cast their votes with a symbolic percentage and representatives were being elected even with 5 to 10 percent polling.
The earlier elections were marred with blasts, threats and violence, but it is for the first time after the eruption of militancy that the polls have been held in a very peaceful and cordial atmosphere and without any incident of violence in any party of Jammu and Kashmir,” Sharma observed.
Holding NC, Congress and PDP fully responsible for the bloodshed in Kashmir during the past over three decades, Sham said that these parties misled the people and only made false promises and hollow slogans in the name of so-called Self Rule and Autonomy in Jammu and Kashmir. “Instead of working for the welfare of people and providing justice to the needy, they supported the pro-Pak agenda, anti-national forces, promoted separatism, communalism and incited peoples’ sentiments against India,” he alleged.
Urging the people to reject these dynastic parties in the current elections for misusing the power and playing with the sentiments of voters for decades together, Sham sought wholehearted support for BJP to form the next Government for a strong, secured and prosperous Jammu Kashmir.
Others, who spoke and were present in the meetings included Mandal Adhyakshs Ravish Mengi, Suresh Khajuria, ex Corporators Yashpal Sharma, Subhash Sharma, Er Dilbahadur Singh and Zorawar Singh.
