BJP asks Congress to clear its stand on Art 370, PAGD: Rana

Jammu Jan 08: Castigating the Congress for messing up the situation in Jammu and Kashmir during its misrule for decades, Senior BJP leader Devender Singh Rana Sunday asked Rahul Gandhi to clarify his stand over the repeal of Article 370 before entering into the Union Territory for his “Bharat Todo Yatra”.
“This is all the more important as the Congress bandwagon is joining the PAGD gang in this sensitive part of the country, which is hand-in-glove with those openly supporting the radical Jihadis and beating chests for the terror mentor of Pakistan, responsible for mayhem and blood bath in the Kashmir Valley and parts of the Jammu region”, Rana said while interacting with various deputations here this afternoon.
He said it will be interesting to watch Rahul Gandhi hoisting the tricolor in Srinagar, as announced by the Congress, on January 28 while being flanked by the leaders like Mehbooba Mufti, who is on record having stated that there will be nobody to raise Tiranga if the Article 370 is tinkered with.
“The tricolor, however, is flying high, as high as 100 meters in picturesque Gulmarg, as also in the rest of the Valley by the enthusiasts, ready to sacrifice their lives for its sanctity and glory,” he said. “The combination of those believing in breaking India, therefore, will be yet another provocation to the compatriots, who have been keenly watching the sinister Congress plan of dividing the society, ” he added.
The senior BJP leader said the unholy alliance of the dynasts is a sign of frustration, who want to regain their lost power by hook and crook. “The people of Jammu and Kashmir in general and the Valley in particular still recall the trials and tribulations of their misgovernance”.
He described the Congress as a murderer of democracy, the characteristic inherited by their local inheritors who missed no opportunity in trampling with the peoples’ mandate just to remain in the cradle of power. The alliance of the trio in the Union Territory will be the anti-climax of the failed yatra from Kanyakumari to Kashmir, he said.
