JAMMU, Mar 18: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) today said that national interest is above all other considerations and irresponsible statements for the sake of petty political gains at the cost of nation can’t be allowed or encouraged, whoever may be the maker.
In a statement issued here, chief spokesperson of State unit of BJP, Sunil Sethi, took strong exception to elected representatives from Kashmir making irresponsible statements in giving undue prominence to Syed Shah Geelani and the likes, saying this is sending wrong signal to forces working for cause of nation and people in the State.
He said that lot of efforts, manpower and public funds are being utilized to provide protection, security and working atmosphere to elected representatives and ministers and all this can’t be allowed to be wasted by act of abject surrender of political space by them in favour of persons who are working against national cause and interest.
“With fast receding space for separatists and supporters of violence and anarchy in the State such like statements only give encouragement to separatists and their supporters who are few in number now. Time is to stand with forces who are working in Valley and difficult parts in Jammu at the cost of their lives to stand with nation and national resolve to fight militancy, hatred and separatism”, he added.
Sethi further said that for National interest is above all other considerations and statement for the sake of petty political gains at the cost of nation can’t be allowed or encouraged. “Leadership prominence is decided by mandate of people in elections and not by reckless statements in press”, he added.
