JAMMU, Dec 10: Congress has blamed BJP of misleading the people by contradicting stands on the sensitive issues of safeguarding land rights and job guarantees to the local youth, which shows the panic in the local cadres of BJP for their political interests, as people are largely unhappy over loosing of all these specific rights available to them and downgrading of the state into UT.
JKPCC chief spokesperson, Ravinder Sharma while taking dig at the confusion in the BJP over these sensitive matters, said that this shows that all is not well in the BJP and there exist sharp division amongst its cadres due to local pressures and political interests.
He said that BJP should stop testing waters and experimenting on sensitive issues, as people can’t be fooled for their rights and interests. Already there is large scale unrest in Ladakh region with regard to their cultural identity, land rights and jobs to youth, the Kashmir Valley maintains an uneasy calm under lot of pressures whereas people and youth in Jammu region have been realizing the real threat to its social, cultural and peaceful existence, especially to lands and jobs and started asserting for legal and constitutional guarantees.
This leads BJP to tizzy and worried for its political interests. The BJP should come clean and clear over the aspirations of the people and to allay their fears of losing valuable rights and identity of Dogra state, he said.
He challenged that if BJP has no fears of facing heat of people, let Centre direct UT Administration to stop all coercive and repressive measures against mainstream opposition voices and create conducive political environment to raise the genuine issues and aspirations of people.
