Addressing a press conference here today at JKPCC office Jammu working president Raman Bhalla, chief spokesperson Ravinder Sharma, Ex-MLC Ved Mahajan, senior Adv Shah Mohd Choudhary, Ex- Corporator Dwarka Choudhary and others blamed BJP for pushing to the peaceful agitators of Leh to the wall and betrayals , as a result the situation of civil unrest slipped out of hands, anger and frustration, after health of their colleagues on fast, deteriorated and the administration failed to visualize the deteriorating situation before hand and take preventing measures.
Centre Govt and BJP kept the peaceful agitators of Ladakh in dark by dilly-delaying and then resorted to arm twisting methods against the leadership which probed counterproductive leading to violence, which is very unfortunate and unacceptable. But it was utter failure of BJP and Centre to hold meaningful and result oriented dialogue with the peaceful agitators for five years on the promises made to them by BJP. They marched to Delhi but locked up inside JK Guest House Delhi and not moved out of gates, few months ago. They started a fast on death but no one from BJP and Centre intervened to break the ice and take precautionary measures, well in time.
The senior leaders questioned BJP which held sway in Leh since 2019, as to why people of Leh lost the trust in BJP due to betrayals, as a result the angry youth targeted BJP office. Then the BJP resorted to diversionary and distraction tactics to malign opposition and peaceful agitators by false and fake narratives and now arrested Sonam Wangchuk under NSA. Why entre and UT administration was silent against him till three days ago, if there was such strong allegations against him. BJP’s all senior leaders are falsely blaming Congress, which was not part of APEX Body spearheading the agitation for five years, as revealed by Sonam Wangchuk himself before his arrest.
They said earlier supporters of BJP and PM Modi as media reports suggest but it was betrayal of BJP that he and the people of the Ladakh turned against BJP and now has been put behind bars under stringest and draconian laws. BJP stands exposed for its lies, Jumlas and betrayals, as the promises made to the Ladakhis were not fulfilled.
Congress supports the legitimate demands of people of Ladakh and appeals for peace and normalcy and strongly condemns the killing of four youth and injuries to 89 others.
