Ridiculing Chief Minister
Omar Abdullah for advising his party workers of Kathua, Samba, Udhampur and
Ramban to strengthen secularism at grass roots level, BJP State General
Secretaries Satish Sharma and Sat Sharma alleged that leaders of NC from
Kashmir and Congress in Jammu talk about secularism and democracy here but in
the valley they forget all such sermons and talk of autonomy, self-rule and Azadi.
BJP leaders said that statements
of Chief Minister his father and others only demonstrate hypocrisy. They questioned
that if they (NC) are really having faith in secularism and democracy, they
should explain to people that why they are having separate constitution and
separate flag. Besides, depriving people for their basic rights by not
extending 73rd and 74th amendments of the Constitution of India in state, they
added.
BJP General Secretaries also
questioned that if they are really secular then why there is continued
discrimination against Jammu, delay in holding elections to civic bodies, less share of Jammu in State Assembly despite
the fact that Jammu has more voter strength. Again the NC leaders should
explain as to why more funds are used in particular areas in comparison to
other areas ignoring all the norms and even the oath taken under the
constitution that they would not have any ill will and discrimination against
any person or place.
They said that state was
ruled by National Conference (NC) and Congress for most of the period after
1947, but they should explain that who is responsible for the decline of
presence of minorities in the valley of Kashmir. In this regard, they said that
in 1947 at the time of the so-called popular government coming to power, the population
of the minorities including Kashmiri Pandits, Sikhs and others was as high as
14% but now they should explain why it has came down to less than 1 per cent. They
appealed the people to go through the double speak of NC and Congress of
preaching secularism in Jammu and disputing it along with accession in valley.
