RAMNAGAR, Nov 12: Accusing the BJP of playing to the galleries over the issue of discrimination against Jammu region, NPP chairman and former minister, Harsh Dev Singh today said that the Saffron brigade was once again trying to hoodwink the people by their foxy designs and cheap politics.
Addressing public meeting at Ramnagar today, Singh said that it was amazing to note the BJP juggernaut approaching the interlocutor Dineshwar Sharma with a request and a memorandum to end the bias against Jammu region. Deliriously oblivious of their position and role in the Government, the BJP leaders not only drew flak from the public but also made themselves as objects of ridicule, said Harsh Dev Singh.
Despite having their Governments at the Centre and in the State it was ridiculous, said Singh, to find the BJP pleading for Jammu rights before their own nominee. “Whom are they trying to fool? What do they want to convey? Do they not know that they are in power today or else they want to convey that they are mere ornamental pieces in the Government having no say at all?” Harsh Dev questioned.
Calling upon the people to strengthen NPP, Singh said that it was the only recognized regional party which was fighting for rights of people of Jammu region irrespective of caste, colour, creed or religion, bias against Jammu in employment, funds allocation, tourism, health and other sectors. He said Panthers Party was determined to take the fight for Jammu to its logical end.
Prominent among those who spoke on the occasion included Manju Singh, Shiv Dev Singh, Pawan Dev, Pushpinder Singh, Shankar Dass and Ashok Malkan.
