JAMMU, Dec 1: Condemning Shehla Rashid for threatening her father, senior BJP leader and former Deputy Chief Minister, Kavinder Gupta today said the case is testimony to the fact that some youth are playing in hands of anti-national elements posing a great risk to national security.
Addressing an election campaign meeting in support of party candidates Bharat Bhushan and Bandhna Kumari at Marh and Bhalwal Blocks respectively for DDC polls today, Gupta said, “Instead of working to accomplish nation building, boys and girls are being lured by the power of money, religious extremism, drugs etc to act against the country.”
He said that so called activist Shehla Rashid’s dubious activities have become public by revelations made by her father.
The BJP leader said such cases will be handled with sternness with no room for laxity.
“If accusations made by father of Shehla Rashid are proved true then she will have to face the law with no leniency,” he maintained adding that the day Narendra Modi took over as the Prime Minister of the country, things have taken a new turn with no scope for law violators to consider India as paradise.
He further said that BJP works on the principle of ‘country first’ and whosoever is found indulged in anti-national acts will be caught and booked by BJP led Government.
On DDC polls, he said, it is the right opportunity for the people to ensure speedy development and doorstep facilities by electing BJP candidates as all other parties in J&K have vested interests and hidden agendas.
Gupta claimed that vote to BJP is vote to prosperity and vote to others is vote to misery and assured the people that BJP will leave no stone unturned to ensure model development in J&K with people getting basic amenities at doorsteps.
Narayan Singh, Rajinder Chib, Omi Khajuria, Kapil Chib, Surinder Sharma and Ved Parkash were also accompanied Kavinder.
