Jammu, December 13 (Scoop News) – Former State President & MLA Jammu East Ashok Khajuria has warned state as well as centre government that BJP is committed for the total integration of Jammu & Kashmir state and will oppose each and every move meant to disintegrate state.
Addressing a press conference in Jammu today Ashok Khajuria said that all those who talk of Azadi or separatism or raise pro-Pak slogans will not be tolerated. Liberal democracy should not be misused by any one and it is to be respected at all cost. Liberty of speech do not allow to talk about disinte gration of the country.
State General Secretary Sat Sharma and State Spokesperson Ramesh Arora were also present in the press conference.
Khajuria further said that there are certain elements in Kashmir and they always try to internationalize the internal problem of the state, the state government as well as centre should take all possible measures against such elements. Division of the country has taken place on the basis of religion and no more division can be tolerated. India is largest democracy of the world and the same can function only if it works within para-meters of constitution .
Many civilians and persons from Armed Forces including Police, BJP leaders have laid down their lives to protect the integrity any unity of the state. India has no space for the elements who want to tarnish secular image of the state and that of country. Dr. Shama Prasad Mookherjee, Tika Lal Taploo, Swami Raj Katal, Rucher Kumar, Satish Bhandari and many others have sacrificed to protect the state from anti-national forces.
He said that their sacrifices will not go in vain and we will see to it that their spirit behind the sacrifices is culminated to logical end. And this can only be achieved if separatist tendencies demanding Azadi are snubbed with in state and outside also to set an example that people are not ready to listen anyone whosoever, he may be if he talks of Azadi and separatism. This formula is not a slogan but conviction of BJP and we will oppose all moves of separatist and political leaders who want to divide this country. BJP will strive to protect the sovereignty and integrity of the state and that of the country at any cost.
Khajuria warned those forces which are operating not only in Kashmir but wants to disturb peaceful atmosphere of other regions also by words or action. We are committed to oppose such designs by tooth and nail.
Ramesh Arora said an attempt was made to raise slogans of Azadi in Jammu including slogans against local MLA Ashok Khajuria today. we warn the state government to take strong action against such elements otherwise it will be persumed that it is an act of anti elements supported by ruling coalition and administration. He also endorsed that stand of Ashok Khajuria about such element is fully endorsed by party.
