Early Times Report
Jammu, Nov 19: Terming it a dangerous prak that could have far reaching ramifications across the country, Congress today accused BJP of polarizing the state for vote bank politics and making a bid to saffronize the state. Former Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad and former Union Minister Ambica Soni while addressing a press conference said that BJP and RSS had a sinister divisive agenda and RSS cadre was working overtime to affect this divide in Kashmir as well as in the Chenab valley.
Ambica Soni said that while Congress has always stood and made sacrifices to preserve the pluralistic ethos of the country, BJP had been dividing the people on religious lines. She questioned the dilution in the stand of the BJP over its stated position of abrogation of Article 370. "Look at their previous elections manifestos wherein they have expressed commitment to the abrogation of article 370, but now, for seeking electoral gains, they have diluted their position," said Soni.
Ghulam Nabi Azad, accusing BJP of pursuing divisive agenda said that it had divided people on the basis of religion in Chenab valley which was very dangerous for the sensitive state like J&K. "We had never known people in Chenab valley by their religion, but know people identify themselves as Hindus and Muslims, which is painful for me as I belong to this place and have known the people here for ages," Azad said. He enumerated flagship schemes of the UPA Government and reiterated that they had changed millions of lives across the country and J&K.
To a question that how Congress will check BJP in J&K, Azad said that people have witnessed unprecedented development in J&K during two and a half years of congress regime and would definitely want to give it another chance. "Congress shall win more seats than it had won in the last Assembly elections and might emerge as the single largest party," Azad said adding that coalition politics was a compulsion in J&K.
PCC chief Saif-ud-Din Soz castigated the din over Hindu or Muslim CM raised by the BJP and the PDPs however did not make a mention of development in the state during the regime of Congress Government headed by Azad. |
