JAMMU, Mar 25: By compromising over all its professed promises as well as Jammu based issues for the crumbs of power, the BJP has inflicted multiple dents upon Dogra pride which would require herculean efforts to straighten the same, said Harsh Dev Singh Chairman JKNPP.
Having exploited the gullibility of the Jammu people during the elections, it abandoned not only its age old philosophy and fundamentals but took a complete U turn over all its election time promises merely for the loaves of power, regretted Harsh. He was addressing a huge public meeting at Manhas Sabha Hall at Paloura, Jammu today.
"The surrenders of BJP would shock the progeny. Its rule would go down the generations as the darkest chapter in Jammu's history," rued Harsh.
"Our honour and self respect has been our only treasure. Our people made sacrifices for the nation and the state. The Dogra rulers not only created the state but proved themselves as embodiment of selfless rule. And now we have been reduced to insignificance having been ditched even by those in whom we reposed faith," said Harsh Dev.
"While separatists are pampered, our soldiers and brave hearts are stoned, humiliated, slapped and jeered. Our national symbols are openly treated with contempt. Those who sing songs in praise of Pakistan are granted immunity while the innocent people of Jammu seeking their fundamental rights are assaulted, arrested and intimidated. Is it not the time to introspect for we the people of Jammu? Let's unite and fight for restoring our lost glory and pride", roared Harsh.
Harsh Dev Singh said that the people were cheated by the central and state BJP leaders in the name of empowering Jammu and compensating it for all the bias doled out to it in the past. The pre-election era witnessed the BJP leaders making fiery speeches with choicest of invectives hurled upon their opposition, said Harsh. He said that after the elections the BJP took no time to sacrifice its bold promises and public interests at the altar of "political constraints", an euphemism used for selfish marriage of political convenience. |
