UDHAMPUR, June 14: With people’s distrust in BJP having exacerbated due to its cowardly surrenders after coming to power, chairman of NPP and former Minister Harshdev Singh said that the party stood decimated in Jammu province and had yielded its space to Panthers Party.
He said that the BJP leaders who earlier groaned on trivial issues with slogans of demolishing the `father – daughter party’ had abandoned their core philosophy only to play the role of junior partner in the PDP Govt. He said that in view of the BJP having melted before PDP for the lust of power, the Panthers Party has emerged as the most natural choice for the people of Jammu region.
Addressing public gatherings at Garh Samnabhanj Motto and Chore Panjian villages of Ramnagar constituency along with Yash Pal Kundal former MoS, condemning the militant attack in Kud, Harshdev regretted that situation in the State was reverting back to nineties with militancy spreading its tentacles to hitherto peaceful areas in Jammu region. He said that it was the first time the secessionists and Hurriyat leaders were officially allowed to hold a seminar in Kashmir by the BJP-PDP to ventilate their anti- India sentiments.
He deplored that full scale security was provided to Hurriyat and separatist leaders during their anti national seminar on Sunday where the speakers not only raised anti India and pro- Pak slogans but used the choicest invectives against India besides questioning J&K’s accession with India. He regretted that BJP not only declined to oppose the said anti- India seminar but also failed to apprehend and punish the culprits responsible for the attack on Mata Kheer Bhawani pilgrims.
NPP leader said that BJP had given its electorates the shocker of their lifetimes by its pusillanimous surrenders over the issues of Sainik Colonies and KP townships in Kashmir, new Industrial Policy besides denial of permission for the Hindu pilgrimage to Beerwah Cave in Budgam. Not only that, he regretted that the name of Hari Parbhat had been mentioned as Kohi-e-Maran in Kashmir festival and Anantnag was being openly referred to as Islamabad in official communications. Accusing the BJP for inflicting multiple dents on Dogra pride by its servile conduct, Harshdev claimed that Panthers alone could restore the lost pride and dignity of Dogras.
