JAMMU, Sept 16: State unit of Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) has slammed the separatists and asked them to clear their stand whether they had sympathy with the flood affected people of Kashmir or not and urged upon the Central Government to deal with iron hands with the anti-national elements involved in attacks on Army and Air Force men involved in relief and rescue operation in Kashmir.
In a meeting of the BSP State unit held here today under the chairmanship of president, Tulsi Dass Langeh the members unanimously passed a resolution asking separatists leaders of Kashmir to clear their stand, whether they had any sympathy with the people of Kashmir who lost their dear ones and property in floods. It was alleged that attacks on the men in uniform by some anti-national elements are being committed on the behest of separatist leaders. They demanded that stern action be taken against the people involved in the attackers on Army, Air Force and NDRF rescue teams in this hour of crisis. Such people are the enemies of nation and they should be thrown behind the bars.
While highly appreciating the role of Indian Army and Air Force besides NDRF involved in rescue operation, the BSP leader appealed the people to contribute for the flood affected people of Jammu and Kashmir and support them in this hour of crisis. They said only due to prompt action of Air Force and Army lives of thousands of people could be saved while there was no local Government visible at all. The BSP leadership demanded that that all those involved in creating hurdles in relief and rescue operation and attacking forces should be arrested and punished as per law of the land, treating them as enemies of the nation.
