Ch Talib Hussain, Taj Mohd join BJP

Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Aug 8: The State BJP got another shot in its arm today when former MP, & senior leader from Rajouri Ch. Talib Hussain and PDP leader Haji Taj Mohd. Khan joined BJP in presence of Party State President & MP Jugal Kishore Sharma, State vice-president Vibodh Gupta, State general secretaries Ashok Kaul and Bali Bhagat, State spokesperson Farooq Khan and Sunil Sethi and party leaders Bharat Bhushan Vaid, S.S. Bijral, Sunil Gupta and others.
Jugal Kishore Sharma, while welcoming the new entrants into the Party said that there has been a wave in favour of BJP across the country. Like other states,  people of very high political and social stature from Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh are also embracing BJP as they are convinced that J&K also needs a change as it took place at New Delhi.
Ch. Talib Hussain, on this occasion, said that although power attracts everyone but the motive should be clear that “we have to serve the society and nation’’. If political system is not well, nation cannot progress. When economic and political power gets into few hands who don’t favour decentralization of power, desired fruits cannot be obtained. “Today Congress is not that of Gandhi or Nehru and similarly NC is also not that of Sheikh Abdullah as both these parties have deviated from their basic principles and policies and are interested in promoting family rule, which is not good for society and the nation,” he said and added that we all need to get united to defeat these parties and bring in BJP which has leaders of commitment.
Haji Taj Mohd. Khan said that till now we had been working to win seats and later surrender to Kashmir-centric leaders and in return got discrimination with our areas, which should not be repeated now. He said that a ray of hope has emerged after BJP taking over at New Delhi that 65 years of uncertainty, step motherly treatment will now be over after joining hands with BJP.
