| BJP always exploited people of Jammu on Article 370: Azad | | |  Early Times Report
Doda/Kishtwar, Nov 20: Launching a scathing attack on BJP for taking a U-turn on issues like Article 370, Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha and Former Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad today said that BJP and its earlier incarnations have been using such sensitive issues to flare up passions and exploit the sentiments of the people of the country in general and Jammu in particular.
"Today they (BJP) seem to have sold the trust of the people by asking them to forget for the sake of gaining power in J&K, he said.
Azad said that BJP has always betrayed trust of people of Jammu and the most glaring example of this betrayal was the cross voting of seven BJP MLAs in the MLC elections. Former Chief Minister was addressing largely attended public gatherings in higher reaches of Inderwal and Ramban constituencies today to seek votes in favour of Congress candidates. He was accompanied by Mohammad Sharief Niaz MLA Bhaderwah, G M Saroori MLA Inderwal, Ashok Dogra, MLARamban. Asserting that the people of J&K are slowly getting aware about divisive and dual-faced politics of BJP, Azad said the U-turn of BJP on Article 370 should leave none in doubt about the hunger of BJP to gain power.
He said, "People of Jammu & Kashmir, especially Jammu, feel cheated by the opportunistic politics of BJP and it is the ruse of BJP to hide under the grab of 'national issue' which no one in J&K is going to buy, and certainly they will be given a befitting reply by the people of the State".
Castigating the BJP for openly hobnobbing with separatists and having under-the-table parleys in its desperation to attain power at any cost, Azad said that people have taken note of the somersaults and opportunistic politics of BJP. Countering the propaganda and canards being spread by the BJP about the rehabilitation of Kashmiri Pandits, Azad said that they are misleading the people by trying to float the impression as if something is being done for the first time. Seeking votes for party candidates, he said, "Congress-led coalition Government set examples of good governance and fast-track execution of developmental programmes as also ensured that all regions and sections of the society are treated with equity, fairness and justice and that this achievement remains the strength and vitality of the Congress".
Azad said that his performance as Union Health Minister is an open book and that it has been acknowledged not only nationally, but internationally. Lambasting the parties who say nothing has happened in Chenab region, Azad said that it goes to the credit of the Congress to bring neglected Chenab region on the developmental map of the State. |
