Jammu, Nov 19 (KNS): Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) has hit back at the BJP over its attempts to target Congress party by mischievous interpretation and distortion over the statement of Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Ghulam Nabi Azad and asked the party to stop teaching lessons of nationalism to Congress party and its leaders, who struggled and sacrificed for the freedom of the country and to safe guard its unity and integrity.
Reacting strongly to the BJP’s assertions in this regard, Congress in a statement issued to KNS, questioned BJP to identify its role in the freedom struggle and thereafter, when the Congress party and its cadres fought the battle for the freedom of the country in which thousands of its leaders and cadres underwent untold sufferings and sacrifices to attain freedom and it continued its legacy of the sacrifices, as the party lost two former Prime Ministers and a Chief Minister for safeguarding the freedom and unity and integrity of the country.
It is vain attempt of BJP to distort and divert the attention of the people from the failures of Modi Govt. and real issue of grave sufferings being faced by the people across the country by demonetization without adequate preparations and arrangements, said a resolution adopted by JKPCC executive in a meeting here.
The party lashed out at the BJP and Modi government for giving lessons on patriotism to congress party and its leaders with a view to hide behind nationalism, to escape for its failures on all fronts.
The BJP’s diversionary tactics won’t work anymore especially attempts to claim themselves to be ultra-nationalists, while painting any one as antinational, who dare to criticize the policies of the Modi government and its failures. It is in furtherance of this tactics that the BJP and Modi Govt. are trying to mislead the people regarding the statement of the leader of the stature of Ghulam Nabi Azad, which is highly reprehensible and shameful on the part of BJP.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp Channel
Reiterating that the Congress party and its leaders and for that matter no citizen of this country needs any certificate of nationalism from BJP and its leaders who are the ideological descendents of the non-participants in the freedom struggle and are pursuing an agenda to divide the pluralistic Indian society, which has the tendency to destroy and disturb the fragile social & secular fabric of this nation.
Reminding the BJP that ‘Unity in Diversity’ is the real strength of our country, the Congress has asked BJP to desist from their diversionary tactics treading this dangerous path of weakening the nation’s unity & integrity and rise above their petty political interest, as the nation comes first.
