JAMMU, May 1: Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Seva Dal (JKPCSD) today mounted attack on the BJP-PDP Government, accusing it of using “unlawful” act towards the Congress party in Country as well as in Jammu and Kashmir.
Addressing a press conference, JKPCSD, State chairman, BS Sambyal expressed serious concern over the prevailing situation and the sense of insecurity among the Congress leaders for taking back security and accommodations.
Sambyal lashed out at PDP-BJP Government for targeting leaders of Congress party and adopting discriminatory and vindictive attitude out of political vendetta in the matter of security cover and accommodation with a view to dissuade the Congress leadership from playing the role of effective and vibrant opposition in the State, as the Congress party and its cadres are highlighting the failures of the Government to mitigate the problems of people and come up to their expectations.
He said that party leaders including the State president, GA Mir, were denied adequate security cover besides Government is adopting discriminatory attitude in the matter of accommodation, which is against the democratic traditions and requirement in this sensitive State.
Blaming the Government for undermining the authority of democratic institutions in the State, he accused PDP- BJP Coalition of using these institutions for personal benefit. He alleged that BJP was hell bent to disturb the peace and amity in the State by igniting the passions of the people and raising the bogey of terrorism in the State by raking up inflammatory issues just to satisfy its lust for power.
Party secretary, Parshant Sharma said, “Congress Party has never changed colours for the sake of power and remained dedicated to its cause of strengthening, serving the people and committed to overall development of the State.”
