JAMMU, Nov 8: BJP JK UT president, Sat Sharma today accused the National Conference (NC) of compromising the sanctity of the sacred House.
While leading a protest against the passage of resolution to restore Article 370 organized by BJP district Jammu North against the NC Government at Jhiri, Sat said that the ruling NC has compromised the sanctity of the sacred House by adopting the resolution on restoration of controversial Article 370 in an undemocratic way.
The party leaders raised slogans against the NC Government and torched the effigy to show their fury.
Omi Khajuria, district president, Vinay Gupta, Seh-Prabhari, Rajinder Singh Chib, Vikas Choudhary, Mandal presidents, ex-Sarpanchs, district team and other leaders of the party were present in the protest.
Sat said that whatever happened in the Assembly yesterday was done to please Pakistan and anti-national people and to mislead the people of J&K.
“This is the anti-national agenda of Congress and NC. From Sheikh Abdullah to Omar Abdullah, emotional blackmailing is the routine of the NC”, he said.
” J&K has long since come out of the dark shadow of Section 370 and 35A. It has embarked on the path of development but Congress, NC, and PDP – all of them are troubled by the peace that has come in the Kashmir Valley. It wants to bring back the dark era of terrorism and separatism in Jammu and Kashmir”, said Sat Sharma.
“Our Government had promised to give Assembly to Jammu and Kashmir and conduct elections, within just five years the Modi Government conducted the elections and restored the democratic process. We will work for the development of Jammu and Kashmir in future also”, said Sharma.
Sharma further said that the BJP will not allow these traitors to succeed in their nefarious designs and throw Jammu & Kashmir into the way of bloodshed and deep darkness.
Omi Khajuria said that the NC is not concerned for the people’s welfare and is concerned for the benefit of their chosen ones and hence misleading the innocent people.
Another protest was staged by BJP Mahila Morcha (MM) outside the party office at Trikuta Nagar, condemning the recent resolution passed by the Assembly, seeking to restore the special status to J&K. The protest not only opposed this resolution but also expressed anger over recent incidents in Kishtwar and the manhandling of BJP MLAs.
Leading the protest, Priya Sethi, former Minister and In-charge of the BJP office, criticized the NC-led Government, stating, “This resolution is a betrayal of the nation. The NC and its allies know that Article 370 cannot be reinstated under the leadership of Prime Minister, Narendra Modi and Home Minister, Amit Shah. Their actions are an attempt to create division and undermine the peace that has been achieved.” She also accused NC Government of compromising with sanctity of the temple of democracy.
BJP vice president and Mahila Morcha, Prabhari, Anuradha Charak while addressing protestors remarked, “The NC is pushing an agenda against the interests of Jammu and Kashmir. Passing this resolution goes against the will of the people and threatens the unity and progress made post-Article 370 abrogation. The BJP stands firmly against any attempt to revive this outdated provision.”
Neha Mahajan, general secretary of the Morcha, Reema Padha its another general secretary also addressed the protestors.
The protesting Morcha activists burnt effigies of NC and Congress leaders, specifically featuring images of Omar Abdullah and Surinder Choudhary, to condemn their “anti-national agendas.” Chanting slogans against the NC and Congress, they reinforced their commitment to counter any moves aimed at restoring Article 370.
