BJP misleading people on Azad’s remarks: Ex-MLA

Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Nov 21:  Former MLA Billawar and senior Congress leader Dr  Manohar Lal Sharma assailed the BJP leadership for launching misleading compaign over the statement of  top AICC leader Congress Gulam Nabi Azad and termed it as a planned step to divert the attention of the people  from the basic issues.
In a press statement   Dr Sharma said the party and its leadership supports the statement of Azad because he had said rightly and exposed the real position prevailing in the country in general and on borders in particular due to the heavy shelling by Pakistan. Dr Sharma said the ceasefire violation and trans- border terrorism which  is increased manifold is  all due to the total failure of foreign policy of BJP Government.
He  further alleged that  Modi Government and BJP leadership is acting as dictators, trying to suppress the voice of general public as well as the Opposition which is totally against the basic principles of healthy democracy. The wrong interpretation of Azad’s statement who is  Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha is the current example of misleading the nation by campaigning through different means of communication which is very unfortunate.
Dr  Sharma asked the Government to clear its stand on the unfortunate death  of more than 70  innocent people while standing in queues to exchange the currency in banks and ATM’s throughout the country.
