While addressing a hurried called press conference, YRS President Vikram Singh Vicky said that the Sabha and entire Dogra community condemned the purported statement of Kavinder Gupta in a video viral on social media, in which the latter is heard accusing the Yuva Rajput Sabha of staging un-necessary drama on the issue of Sarore Toll Plaza for earning money from some sources.
“Kavinder’s purported statement amounts to playing with the sentiments of entire Dogra community,” he said and added that the controversial remark was also contradictory to opinion of other leaders of BJP, including MP Jugal Kishore Sharma, Vice-president Sham Lal Sharma, Chander Parkash Ganga and Surjit Singh Slathia, who had justified the action of YRS over Toll Plaza issue.
Announcing that he will resign from the post of Yuva Rajput Sabha president if allegation against him turns true, Vikram Singh also warned legal action against Kavinder Gupta if the latter doesn’t retract his purported statement and seeks apology. “Rajputs along with entire Dogra community will also gherao the residence of Kavinder Gupta and lodge a strong protest against him in the coming days,” he added.
Surinder Singh Gilli and Rajn Singh Happy, former Presidents of YRS, also briefed the media and said that if the BJP does not rein in its leaders like Kavinder Gupta, the party would lose its ground and support among Dogra community. YRS Chairman Raghuvir Singh and Founder member Rajinder Singh also said that such objectionable statements were totally against the interests of Jammu.
These leaders claimed that Yuva Rajput Sabha has not turned silent and they will resume the agitation over Toll Plaza issue by September 15. “Yuva Rajput Sabha always stands for the rights and betterment of J&K and we will never play with the sentiments of our people,” said YRS Spokesperson, Vishal Singh.
