JAMMU, Nov 8: Senior PCC leader and former minister Sham Lal Sharma today said that Prime Minister Narender Modi has talked much but now it is time to work and deliver to the people.
Addressing meeting of Block Congress Committee Akhnoor members today, the Congress leader expressed surprise over the statement of CM Mehbooba Mufti in which she had said that India should have dialogue with Pakistan to sought out the prevailing unrest on the LoC and International Border in the presence of her ministers both from PDP and BJP.
The CM has also said that the PM Modi is following the peace formula laid out by the then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Sham Lal said that it is not understood what formula the then PM Vajpayee had laid for talks instead of peace there was a Kargil war which resulted into loss of precious lives of our brave soldiers and now the same strategy had followed by the Modi Government which has led State into the present turmoil.
Launching attack on PDP-BJP, Mr Sharma said that there is no government and civil administration functioning in the State. There is chaos at every level in the State due to inefficiency of the BJP -PDP Government. He said that whole State has been turned into battle field by the BJP Government.
Accusing Prime Minister and BJP Government of talking much and making hollow promises to the people right from the previous Lok Sabha elections, Sham Lal said that it is time for Modi to act and deliver to the people of this country.
He said that people of the border belt in the State have been suffering badly due to Pakistani firing. “They are scared of shelling and needed to be rehabilitated at the safer places. Their demand of raising pucca bunkers near the LoC and adequate compensation is genuine and justified,” he added.
Attacking Narendra Modi, Congress leader said it was unfortunate that Modi chose to remain mute on the killing of jawans and civilians in Pakistani shelling instead of giving out a strong message to the neighbouring country.
