JAMMU, Jan 29: Cautioning the Coalition Government against sending out a dangerous signal of religious discrimination, BJP chief spokesperson Dr. Jitendra Singh here today said that BJP extends its full support to the All Parties Migrants Coordination Committee (APMCC) whose activists are going to sit on an indefinite fast at Porbandhar, Gujarat from tomorrow.
In a statement, he said that across the party lines, nobody can find fault with the APMCC’s non-controversial, reasonable and just demand asking the Government to approach Pakistan authorities to facilitate visit by Hindu pilgrims from India to Shardha Peeth in PoK or the demand for taking up the pending “Temples and Shrines Bill” in the forthcoming session of Legislative Assembly.
Dr. Jitendra Singh accused the State’s Coalition Government of having gone back on its word after making a false Commitment in October 2011 to the APMCC activists who were at that time also sitting on an indefinite fast in Jammu and who had ended their fast after ten days when a State Cabinet Minister approached them as Chief Minister’s emissary and announced the Government’s intent to frame a Committee to look into their demands.
Dr. Jitendra Singh also referred to huge land encroachments in certain temple / shrine premises in Kashmir valley and said that these need to be investigated and the culprits, however, highly they may be placed, ought to be brought to book.
