| AICC leader ridicules Gupta's remarks | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, May 29: All India Congress Committee (AICC) secretary, Praveen Davar has ridiculed the statement of Chaman Lal Gupta, Leader of BJP Legislature Party, holding Congress responsible for partition of India and for granted separate status to Jammu and Kashmir.
In a press statement, Praveen Davar, the AICC secretary, who was here for last three days in connection with various party programmes, said, "Senior BJP leader is misleading the people by distorting history and trying to cover up the follies of RSS which, despite being founded 22 years before independence, never took part in the freedom struggle and only added to the communal environment which led to the partition of India which Congress leaders led by Gandhi, Nehru and Patel tried their level best to prevent."
"The partition took place because of divide and rule policy of the British empire and the communal politics of Mohammad Ali Jinah who is adored by the BJP leaders, one whom was expelled for making pro-Jinnah statements and is now reportedly returning to the BJP," he maintained.
Davar said that the Vajpayee government which was in power for six years, itself realized that Article 370 was irreversible and did nothing to undo it despite it being in its previous poll manifestoes.
"Chaman Lal Gupta is advised to read history and not make statements aimed at dividing the people on communal and regional lines. People of J&K have proved time and again that they stand by secularism, peace, inter-regional harmony and equitable development of the state," he said.
