JAMMU, May 5: Former Minister and BJP leader, Sham Lal Sharma cautioned Kashmir centric parties who speak against the nation to desist from issuing anti national statements for their political gains.
Sharma, who recently resigned from the Congress and joined the BJP, today chaired first monthly meeting of workers at Akhnoor. While addressing Sharma accused NC, Congress and PDP of being in a “habit of backing anti-Indian forces”, saying its promise to amend the AFSPA in militancy-hit Kashmir will only embolden terrorists.
“We appeal to the Centre and State Government that those leaders who are making anti-national statements every now and then, should be booked under the sedition law so that they will desist from such remarks,”he added.
He further said that if the Kashmir-based leaders are making anti-India statements, they should face the action under sedition law.
During the recent Parliamentary elections a so called Secular Front consisting of Congress, NC and PDP was formed against BJP. The leaders of so called Secular Front which included Ex CMs, Ghulam Nabi Azad, Farooq Abdullah, Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti didn’t addressed a single public meeting in Hindu dominated more than 30 Assembly constituencies in Jammu -Poonch and Udhampur -Kathua Parliamentary constituencies.
Sham reminded these leaders of their statements in which they had said that complete Jammu is two and half district. ” I want to make clear to these leaders that people of Jammu will show their might on May 23 and dismiss all their misgivings about the Jammu region”.
Sham said anti national statement made by the leaders is against the unity and the integrity of the country and amounts to sedition.
He lambasted Congress leaders over the party’s promise of reviewing the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act and withdrawing the anti-sedition law, saying they should “drown” themselves in a pool of water, as he pledged his party’s support to the forces and sanctity of the AFSPA.
They have said in manifesto they will dilute AFSPA. They should be day-dreaming,” Sham said, alleging that Congress manifesto promotes the interest of terrorists and anti-India forces.
Taking a dig over the Congress, NC and PDP, Sham claimed “sadness had gripped” these parties and Pakistan after air strikes on terrorist camp in Balakot.
He also welcomed the decision of UN to declare Azhar Masood as global terrorist and said that the decision is due to the diplomatic efforts of PM, Narendra Modi.
