Jammu: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Jammu & Kashmir President and Rajya Sabha MP Sat Sharma (CA) chaired an urgent meeting at the Party Headquarters, Trikuta Nagar, Jammu, to express deep sorrow and outrage over the tragic explosion outside Gate Number 1 of the Red Fort Metro Station in Delhi, which claimed several innocent lives and left many injured.
The meeting was attended by Ashok Koul, General Secretary (Organization), and Gopal Mahajan, General Secretary, besides senior party functionaries. The leaders observed a two-minute silence in memory of the victims and extended heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families.
Addressing the meeting, Sat Sharma said the entire nation stands united in this hour of grief. He said that this barbaric act has shaken the conscience of every Indian. He stressed that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, terrorism will find no refuge. Those behind this conspiracy will be crushed with iron hands. This is not the UPA era, where terror was met with words; this is the Modi government, which responds with decisive action. Operation Sindoor is already underway, and the conspirators will face the harshest punishment, he asserted.
Sat Sharma added that the Modi government’s commitment to national security is absolute and uncompromising. He said that in the last eleven years, India has reduced terrorism to its last breath. He said that the incidents have fallen drastically from an average of 3,600 per year under the UPA to less than 1,900 and 620 so far this year. He added that the Modi government ensured the 2019 UAPA amendment, strengthened NIA powers, and succeeded in placing Pakistan on the FATF grey list to curb terrorism.
Ashok Koul stated that all investigative agencies are working in close coordination to unearth the entire conspiracy. While he said that no angle will be ignored, and the guilty will not be spared, he pointed out that appeasement politics gives oxygen to terrorism. National security must rise above party lines, he added.
Gopal Mahajan said that the BJP stands like a rock with the victims’ families and with every security personnel committed to uprooting terrorism.
