JAMMU, Dec 26: Former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee was a multi-faceted personality who justified his name in the real sense of the word. He was Atal- persistent, steadfast and uncompromising.
This was stated by G L Raina (spokesperson, BJP) while addressing a press conference at party headquarters, Trikuta Nagar (Jammu) today. Advocate Sunil Sethi (chief spokesperson) and Arun Gupta (spokesperson) were also present on the occasion.
Sunil Sethi emphasized that BJP is following the Atal’s vision and politics of Insaniyat, Jamhuriyat, and Kashmiriyat for people irrespective of any distinction while political parties who enjoyed power with Atal’s denied these by excluding minority Hindu Community in Kashmir from its ambit. He stressed these principles cannot be applied to terrorists and criminals sent across by neighbour. They are to be crushed, he added.
Girdhari Lal Raina said that the BJP is devoted to Atal’s vision, and won’t allow vested interests to distort it for their narrow political dreams. “Atal Ji, being firm in his convictions, his views on almost every issue of national importance including Jammu Kashmir were accommodative and flexible but uncompromising on the basic premise. Unity, integrity, democracy, and civilizational ethos were paramount for him”, said G L Raina.
“Atal’s love for J&K is well known. He tried to bring together diverse opinions into a mutual understanding for the resolution of all remaining issues confronting the people of J&K, but he was clear in elucidating his stand,” said Raina.
