JAMMU, Apr 4: Jammu & Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) president, Prof. Saif-ud-Din Soz on Friday described the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)’s prime-ministerial candidate, Narendra Modi as a communal person and said that the latter can’t make India every-body’s country.
Addressing a largely attended public meeting here at Gujjar Nagar in Jammu East constituency today, Prof. Soz alleged that there are people in BJP who actually want to divide the society and the country on the basis of region and religion.
“Modi is a communal person, due to whom today there is no mention of BJP but of him (Modi) and he is one, because of whom a bitter fight has ensued within the party and its senior leaders like L K Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi and Sushma Swaraj are feeling suffocated in the party today,” he maintained.
Calling upon the people to only vote for Congress-National Conference (NC) alliance candidate, Madan Lal Sharma in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, which would be held on April 10, 2014, the JKPCC chief said that Congress is a secular party and vote to the Congress candidate means your support to Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and Dr. Manmohan Singh, who want to see development and progress all around in the country.
