| BJP again betrayed the nation | | Jammu bandh | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Feb 16: On February 14, the nation witnessed a major terror attack. It took place in Kashmir's Pulwama. The terror attack left at least 44 CRPF jawans martyred. The terror attack evoked a very strong reaction in Jammu. Almost all the organizations, social and political, and civil society groups gave call for Jammu bandh on February 15. Even the Congress and the National Conference, which were squarely responsible for all the ills facing the nation in J&K, supported the bandh call. According to reports, "over two lakh people, mostly youths, came on to the streets of Jammu alone with tricolours in their hands chanting Bharat Mata Ki Jai, Vande Mataram and Pakistan Murdabad slogans and demanding stringent actions against the Jihadis".
Paradoxically, the BJP was the only party which didn't either give call for Jammu bandh or support the call for Jammu bandh. It sprung a big surprise.
The reason was that the BJP in Jammu was known as a party, which would give call for Jammu bandh again and again and hold protest demonstrations against discrimination with Jammu province and all acts of terror anywhere in the state. The BJP was considered the only opposition party in the state.
The bandh was a massive affair with people in their thousands coming from different sides and converging on the Jammu city's major roads and all the three bridges on the River Tawi. Convinced that they had committed a grave blunder and outraged the sentiments of the bleeding nation by not goiving call for Jammu bandh or supporting the call for Jammu bandh, four BJP leaders, including state BJP chief Ravinder Raina, MP Jugal Kishore Sharma, former MLA Sat Sharma and Yudhvir Sethi mustered courage and reached Bikram Chowk, where they enacted a drama of sorts by raising anti-Pakistan slogans. They stayed there for a few minutes and then suddenly vanished.
The people of Jammu noted all this. Some of them even asked Sat Sharma why didn't the BJP give call for Jammu bandh?" By doing what the BJP did on February 15, it further lost its face. It appears there is something wrong with this so-called nationalist BJP. |
