Jammu, December 14 (Scoop News) –Senior BJP leaders today said that state leadership as well as national leadership of BJP is seriously concerned over the developments in the state, especially the situation arising out after the utterances of the state chief minister over finality of accession of Jammu and Kashmir with the Indian Union.
While addressing the meetings in Jammu in connection with the party’s December 24 rally to be held at Parade Ground, BJP Member of Parliament Prahlad Patel, National Convenor of Morcha and Cells Mohinder Pandey, Pradesh Prabhari O.P. Kohli, alongwith State President Shamsher Singh Manhas, MLAs Ashok Khajuria and Jugal Kishore took stock of the preparations being made so far to make the rally a grand success. The party leaders were briefed about the modes being adopted to reach the masses and educate them about the significance of December 24 rally of the party.
Leaders said that repeated discrimination with Jammu region and decision to rehabilitate the militants are other issues which have been taken seriously by the nationalist people and the BJP. They said that our leaders have laid down their lives from time to time while agitating against such provisions in the constitution which induce a sense of separatism.
Leaders said that during the past 63 years the Kashmir-centric government in the state gave step-motherly treatment to Jammu and Ladakh as the people of these regions were taken for granted as the Congress did not utter a single word of opposition against the Kashmir-centric programmes and policies of the successive governments. The Congress, for the sake of power, compromised on national interests in the state, which encouraged the Kashmiri leaders to make controversial statements and challenge the finality of accession. They said the need of the time is to display unity and convey that the people will not tolerate any more discrimination, dis-respect to the constitution and rehabilitation of the militants.
To achieve the motive of giving a strong message, BJP has decided to expose the dubious character of the state and Central government by organizing a big rally on Dec. 24 at Parade Ground and we all should devote our time and energy to ensure participation of maximum people drawn from all the areas of the state.
