| Terms Yatra a symbol of Unity that will strengthen secularism weakened by BJP | | Bharat Jodo Yatra’ will join fragmented J&K: Rattan Lal | |  Early Times Report
JAMMU, Jan 22: Rattan Lal Gupta, Provincial President Jammu and Kashmir National Conference (JKNC), while welcoming the ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ led by AICC leader Rahul Gandhi, has asserted that this Yatra will join the broken and fragmented erstwhile State of Jammu and Kashmir.
It is pertinent to mention here that Bharat Jodo Yatra will be reaching Jammu on January 23.
In a statement issued to media here today, the senior National Conference leader lamented that Bharatiya Janata Party has divided the erstwhile state of J&K into two Union Territories thus fragmenting this crown region. He added that the saffron party did not stop here but its leaders have even divided the people of the region on the basis of religion, castes and community. He said the BJP leaders whether local or at the National level are leaving no stone unturned in creating a communal divide and fission on region and religious basis. He accused the BJP Government of changing Jammu and Kashmir into an abode of hatred, intolerance and violence just for their vested petty interests.
Rattan Lal Gupta said that ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ is a symbol of unity and will definitely do wonders in strengthening the secular ethos of Jammu and Kashmir that has been reduced to tatters by the Bharatiya Janata Party through its proxy government in this Union Territory. He said that the party is pursuing anti-people policies plunging the people of this region into unprecedented miseries.
Hoping that the Yatra will definitely provide some healing touch to the common people who have suffered a lot due to BJP’s misgovernance, he reiterated his party’s full support to the Yatra saying that its main aim is to expose the incumbent BJP Govt that has virtually murdered democracy especially in Jammu and Kashmir.
Meanwhile, Rattan Lal Gupta also condemned the twin blasts in Narwal and asserted that there is a dire need to strengthen the security grid in Jammu and Kashmir. It’s a matter of serious concern that militancy has reached Jammu region from Kashmir with the recent three to four major terror incidents happening here.
The senior NC leader said that the said terrorist activities including killings have totally exposed the hollow policies of Central and State governments which had given an assurance regarding the restoration of peace in J&K. He said the reality is that still the present situation prevailing in this Union Territory is far from normal.
The Provincial President asked the LG’s administration to brace-up the security grid and mobilize the intelligence network to ensure that such horrendous attacks should be stopped in the coming time. |
