Sikhs appeal community to vote for BJP | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Apr 8: Asserting that the Sikh community in Jammu and Kashmir was most discriminated, the Sikhs today made an appeal to the fraternity to vote and support Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the Lok Sabha Polls which is scheduled to go on April 10 and elect Narendra Modi as Prime Minister of the country. "Sikhs in the state are most discriminated," Amreek Singh, state executive committee member and BJP leader told media persons here. Mr Singh appreciated the BJP manifesto for Lok Sabha elections 2014 and while taking a dig at present ruling government, he reminded that no representation is given to Sikhs in the state in either houses of Assembly and Council. He recalled that Sikhs have contributed tremendously in the freedom struggle which is a widely known. Lambasting at Congress-the main culprit, the BJP leader reiterated that AICC vice-president Rahul Gandhi too confessed that some senior Congress leaders were involved in the riots and killing of innocent Sikhs in 1984, adding, "Ansari Commission report was submitted to the government but the then Congress in the Centre did not take any cognizance of the matter". Understanding the apathetic attitude and trust deficit of the NC-Congress government, he appealed before the Sikh community to vote and support BJP candidates contesting Parliamentary elections in various constituencies of the state. "Vote to BJP candidates means installing of Narendra Modi as Prime Minister which mean prosperity of the Nation and therefore, peace and tranquility as is projected in the BJP's manifesto which is the need of the hour," said Mr Singh. |
