Early Times Report
Jammu, July 12: The former Union Minister and MLA, Prof. Chaman Lal Gupta has strongly resented over the observance of July 13, as the Martyrs' Day, especially at the Govt. level by having holiday. He said that the sad incidents linked with this day were of highly communal nature and the part of a design which was essentially the handiwork of British imperialists who intended to divide the people to continue their rule and to create hurdles in the way of movement for Independence of India. Prof. Gupta said that the history is witness to the facts that the police firing at a mob on July 13, 1931, had taken place when they attempted to get freed an outsider who was booked for inciting violence and spread hatred on religious and sectarian basis. This person was none else but a cook of an officer of Imperialists who were annoyed with the then Maharaja Hari Singh because of his support to freedom movement of India.
He questioned that if July, 13, is a national day then why it is observed in the Valley alone and not in Jammu and Ladakh regions as also in other parts of the country. If it was a part of the national and secular movement then how it was being observed in Pak held Kashmir as also in Pakistan which are being guided by the obnoxious Two Nations Theory. Prof. Gupta impressed upon the ruling leaders of the National Conference as also those of the Congress to refrain from opening the old words particularly those of the minorities of the State who were at the receiving end but for movement of 1931 which was led by Muslim Conference and other such like elements.
