BJP exploited people of Jammu on one pretext or other: NPP

Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Feb 27: “BJP has always exploited the people of Jammu Pradesh on the one pretext or the other and used communal divide to seek emotional support for the four decades”, said Prof Bhim Singh, patron, National Panthers Party (NPP).
He stated that BJP promised moon to the people of Jammu Pradesh and finally landed in the lap of a Kashmiri leader (a Congress veteran) who presided the J&K Congress Party for 18 years. Money combined with State power backed by EVMs manipulation brought BJP to take 28 seats in Jammu Pradesh and Mufti’s PDP to get 28 seats in the Valley.
“The cats finally were let out of the Prime Minister’s Modi’s bag today, when two extremes decided to form a Government in J&K by exploiting the aspirations and the emotions of the people of Jammu Pradesh”, he said.
“I had a video conference with the senior leaders of the Panthers Party in Jammu, Udhampur and Srinagar and appealed them to defeat the reactionary, communal, opportunist and authoritarian forces in J&K who have hijacked the future aspirations and hopes of the entire Jammu Pradesh.
He said that resolution lies only in the reorganization of the J&K so that lost dignity and identity of the people of Dogra-Pahari Pradesh is protected and the people of both the provinces are provided their due share in social justice, political equality and development. He said that Panthers Party’s stand for the immediate amendment in Article 370 has been vindicated by the unholy alliance between Modi and Mufti that has betrayed the people of J&K once again.
He called on the Panthers Party activists to take up their banners of democracy to oppose, expose and finally depose opportunist rulers of the new alliance.
