Cong accuses BJP of exploiting emotional issues to deceive the public, particularly ahead of the Maharashtra and Jharkhand elections.
Protecting land, jobs, natural resources, and cultural identity is no sin.
The NC resolution aims to restore full statehood with special status, similar to Himachal Pradesh and over a dozen other states.
However, the BJP allegedly created a false narrative, ignoring the fact that people have been demanding these rights.
“Outsiders are rapidly taking over land, jobs, and resources in Jammu, threatening the future of local generations”, he said, adding, “The region's cultural heritage is at risk due to the absence of special status”.
“The resolution seeks guarantees for land, jobs, natural resources, and cultural identity, similar to those in other states”, he said.
Sharma stressed that the Congress is committed to fighting for these rights and ensuring the well-being of the Jammu and Kashmir people. Notably, BJP National Spokesperson Amit Malviya initially welcomed the resolution but later politicized it for vote bank purposes. |
