JAMMU, May 11: Successive Governments in the centre and the erstwhile state of J&K lacked guts and willpower to tackle Kashmir problem leading to mayhem in the region.
This was stated by senior BJP leader and former Deputy Chief Minister, Kavinder Gupta during a party programme held in Gadigarh area falling in Ward Number 73 wherein scores of people including women political workers embraced BJP and pledged to carry forward the mission of making India stronger and development oriented.
Kavinder said, “J&K has witnessed destructive politics in the last over 40 years during which people like Syed Ali Shah Geelani, Yasin Malik and Shabir Shah were allowed to deteriorate the situation as the then governments preferred to look the other way around”.
He alleged that these so-called Kashmiri representatives were responsible for exodus of Kashmiri Pandits as they mislead the youth in Valley to satiate their vested interests and were also extensively involved in give and take of terror funds.
Vinay Gupta, District President and other party leaders were present on the occasion.
Earlier, Kavinder welcomed the newly joined women members in the party fold. He also spoke about the significance of women empowerment to ensure welfare of society.
Sangita Mandal President Mahila Morcha and Meetu Sharma General Secretary organized the programme.
Among others who were present include Naresh Sharma General Secretary, Bharat Bhushan Mandal President, Pawan Sharma, BR Sharma, Ravi Raina, Mohit Raina and Girdhari Lal.
