JAMMU, Nov 8: Apni Party general secretary Vikram Malhotra today said People’s Alliance for Gupkar Declaration (PAGD) does not represent whole political spectrum and the parties have come together in PAGD because their political survival was threatened.
“They (PAGD leaders) have been exposed before the people for their double speech in Kashmir and Jammu. They speak differently in both the regions to divide people like BJP and garner support,” said Vikram Malhotra. He suspected match fixing of the PAGD with the BJP and questioned that if their presence in Jammu has created division among the people then how come the BJP has allowed them knowing their fiery speeches.
Malhotra said Apni Party wants peace to be established in J&K. “The regions should not be put to test again by these political parties who have exploited the people of both regions for their political gains,” the Apni Party leader said while speaking at a function at Gandhi Nagar office.
On the occasion, Over 16 people from Khour Block joined the Apni Party. They included Anil Singh Jasrotia, Er KD Singh, Dr Naresh Raina, Sanjay Goswami, Naresh Bakshi, Sanjeev Gupta, Kishori Lal Gupta, Ravinder Sharma, Balbir Singh, Vishal Singh, Vishal Gupta, Karan Singh, Shanker Parshad, Rajan Mangotra, Harsh Kumar and others.
Speaking on the occasion, Apni Party provincial president Manjit Singh said, “People in Jammu were left politically orphaned by these PAGD leaders who claimed to be the champion of Jammu cause. The Jammu cause is a divisive agenda and we should stand against it. The discrimination which Jammu faced in last seventy years was due to such people. We want equal share in jobs and development and Apni Party is committed for the same”.
He appealed the people who joined the party to carry forward the message of peace and development which has been adopted by the Apni Party. The function was also attended by Ex-MLA Ghulam Qadir Wani, SC State Coordinator Bodh Raj Bhagat and State Coordinator OBC Madan Lal Chalotra.
