Jammu: Lashing out at the Congress for “ducking response over the abrogation of Article 370 as usual due to its inherent contradictions and taking an escape route from the chronic political issues it created in Kashmir over the decades”, Senior BJP leader Devender Singh Rana today said that the statement of Jairam Ramesh is on expected lines keeping in view the flip-flop policies of his party on issues concerning upholding of Nation’s sovereignty and integrity.
Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of releasing of the book ‘Trikaalsandhya and Vaishnav Vratodyaapan Pradeep on Karm-kand’ by Dr. Varchaskam Sharma here this afternoon, Rana said that the Congress is caught between the deep sea and devil over the historic repeal of Article 370 binding Jammu and Kashmir emotionally and psychologically with rest of the country besides ending the era of deprivation of women and marginalized segments like Valmikis, PoK refugees, Gorkhas, Gujjar Bakerwals west PAK refugees and the other weaker sections.
“Talking about the political issues would certainly expose the Congress, which is solely responsible for all the ills afflicting the body psyche of the nation in general and the Valley in particular because of greed, lust, and lack of vision of its so-called towering leaders,” Rana said, adding that such an eventuality is bound to entail the wrath of the party’s new found allies in the communal, divisive, anti-national and pro-Pakistan PAGD who Congress is trying to please and appease.
Rana recalled his earlier statement of the Congress creating alibis to avoid hoisting of the tricolor at the historic Lal Chowk in view of the PAGD’s strong hate for the national flag. He said that Rahul Gandhi has conveniently obliged the hate mongers and anti-national political actors, who had warned of not getting flag bearers for the tricolor in the Valley if Article 370 was tinkered with.
“Bypassing Lal Chowk thus amounts to compromising national honor and dignity. It is different that the Tiranga is being unfurled for the youth of Kashmir day in and day out with pride,” he said and referred to the response they got as recently as on the Republic Day when shops in the famous market-place remained open, ending over the three-decade culture of hartals and bandhs. He said that this has unnerved the Congress and its masters in the PAGD, who are in unholy wedlock for their lust for power.
Rana reminded the Congress of its blunders in Kashmir, saying that but for the course correction being made by the BJP, the paradise on earth was on the brink of disaster.
He said that none of the dynasts ever appreciated the genuine aspirations of the Paharis, Gujjars, Refugees, Valmikis, and the other categories of marginalized sections, who are witnessing their empowerment for the first time ever since the independence of India.
He said that the BJP has infused a sense of belonging among the people and heralded a new era of peace and stability. Even the worst adversaries are confessing privately how the malady of stone-pelting and hartal culture has ended in Kashmir with people enthusiastically participating in the odyssey of progress and development.
He said that a fillip in the Kashmir economy due to a record influx of tourism showcases the sincere efforts of the BJP in bringing normalcy and exposes the trio pseudo secularists for their machinations of keeping the Valley on the boil. “J&K is at the threshold of progress, prosperity, and above all political empowerment in the real sense of the term.”
The books of Dr. Varchaskam Sharma, an Assistant Professor in Sanskrit at GDWC, Kathua will be distributed free of cost. Dr Sharma has earlier also authored three books on Karm-kand.
Prominent among others those present on the occasion included Pt. Tilak Raj Shastri, Principal, Ranjeet Singh.
