KATHUA, Apr 12: Former Minister and BJP leader, Sham Lal Sharma while addressing series of meetings at Rolka, Bandarkote, Badnota, Dagan in Bani Constituency today took dig at Panthers Party (PP) and Dogra Swabhiman Sangathan (DSS).
He said these parties are working against the BJP to divide the votes of BJP with a view to give benefit the Congress candidate who is supported by NC, PDP. He termed these parties as B team of NC, PDP and Congress. He further said that the candidates of these parties have been pitted against Dr Jitendra Singh who is contesting on BJP ticket, with an objective to divide the Hindu votes in Kathua district and to help the candidate supported by these anti national parties to get elected.
Sham cautioned people of the area to remain vigilant and asked them not to succumb to the pressure of these parties and defeat their move to divide votes of Hindus.
Sham Lal Sharma took a dig at Congress and other Kashmir centric opposition parties. He slammed them for playing with the cause of Jammu region and ignoring it completely to appease a particular section of people in the Valley.
Lambasting the grand old party, Congress, he said despite having a history of 135 years, Congress has trucked with Kashmir centric parties like National Conference (NC) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) against the aspirations of the people of Jammu region and surrendered before them. The party supported the anti national parties to please a particular section of people and worked against the cause of Jammu, he added.
Sham said the people of Jammu region will give a befitting reply to the party for joining hands with those who discriminated with this region for decades together and deprived the people of Jammu of their legitimate rights.
He said these parties who claim to be secularists should elaborate the definition of secularism and explain what they mean by secularism. “The Congress is no longer that party which it was during the time of Father of Nation Mahatma Gandhi and it has become a pseudo secular party now”, he added.
Sham said that Congress Party is struggling for survival on National Conference (NC), Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) crutches which has resulted in a hilarious scenario of one drowning person clinging on to another drowning person, resulting in imminent extinction of all of them. Those who spoke in these meetings included BJP general secretary, Dr Narinder Singh, Ex MLA Jeevan Lal, Abhijeet Jasrotia and Kuldeep Singh.
