JAMMU, Dec 30: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) lambasted the Congress for its step motherly treatment meted to the Displaced Persons (DPs) of PoJK and refugees from West Pakistan.
Addressing the massive Adhikaar rallies of Displaced Persons from PoJK at Khour, Sunderbani and Hiranagar, BJP State President and MLA Sat Sharma, Lok Sabha MP Jugal Kishore Sharma, Rajya Sabha MP Shamsher Singh Manhas and PHE Minister Sham Choudhary held Congress responsible for whatever DPs and refugees have faced after Independence.
These rallies were organized to clear the mis-information campaign of Congress and NC related to Rs 2000 crores financial assistance for DPs from PoJK.
Sat Sharma, while addressing a large gathering of DPs at Khour, said that the Congress only betrayed these displaced persons from PoJK and now when PM Narendra Modi has taken their plight as human problem and came forward to grant them financial assistance, the Congress leaders are once again trying to mislead the hapless DPs, which is itself an example of their irresponsible approach towards them.
Jugal Kishore Sharma, while addressing a similar rally at Sunderbani said that BJP has initiated the process of helping the DPs from PoJK but the Congress cannot digest it. Even the refugees from West Pakistan were not considered for any favour by Congress and it is only BJP Government which has granted certain concessions to them for their livelihood.
Shamsher Singh Manhas, while addressing the DPs at Kattal drawn from 46 colonies of Hiranagar, said that BJP has always stood with the PoJK people as well as West Pak Refugees and never played politics like Congress did during all these years of Independence.
Sham Choudhary, while addressing the DPs at Khour, said that they have suffered a lot during the Congress rule and the BJP Governments at the Centre and in the State have displayed honest and non-political approach towards them.
Vice-Chairman OBC Board Rashpal Verma, BJP MLAs Dr Krishan Lal Bhagat, Rajiv Sharma, Ravinder Raina, Rajiv Jasrotia and Kuldeep Kumar said that the Congress is mother of all ills in the Country and PM Modi has taken a pledge to get India free of these evils.
Party leaders Premnath Dogra, Suraj Singh, Arvind Gupta, Capt Ramesh Lal, Manmohan Singh, Som Dutt, Sanjeev Sharma, Bodh Raj, Sanjay, Mohan Prashar, Jarnail Singh, Prithvi Raj and many others also addressed these rallies.
