JAMMU, July 27: The former Minister of State for Defence and MLA, Prof. Chaman Lal Gupta has stressed the need for observance of Kargil Vijay Divas at the public level and converting of Balidan Stamb at Jammu into a place of tourist attraction as also opting policies to highlight the achievements of the Army in the country, especially in this part of India which have been the theatre of sacrifices of the men of the forces to fight out the enemy designs and cross border terrorism.
Prof. Gupta expressed satisfaction for observing Kargil Vijay Divas by the men in Khaki but the involvement of general public in such functions should be encouraged so as to create awareness amongst the masses that what a great task of valour have been performing our Jawans and officers. But it is a pity that more weight is given to secessionists and semi- separatists even in such matters which are linked with our security and that of existence, he added and pointed out that the manner in which the enemy designs have been there for over 65 years now, without the forces the semblance of peace and progress could not be possible. Hence, it is the moral duty of every nationalist to salute the forces who made tremendous efforts for protection of the people, in addition to the frontiers of the Country.
Prof. Gupta was highly critical of the coalition leaders of the State and Congress led UPA Government at the Centre that instead of taking note of the situation and work for strengthening the security measures, confused and contradictory voices are being aired by the men authority including the Cabinet Ministers at the Centre just for keeping in good humour the State ruling leaders and also the separatists. They are even trying to contradict the Army generals and others engaged in fighting out the designs of the perpetrators of cross-border terrorism and other acts of enmity.
