Sham Lal calls NC ‘Mother of Militancy’; urges people to reject their agenda of turmoil

STATE TIMES NEWS

JAMMU: Senior BJP leader and candidate for the Jammu North Assembly Constituency, Sham Lal Sharma, on Monday launched a scathing attack on the National Conference (NC) , labeling it an “unholy coalition” formed to seize power by any means necessary.
Speaking at a public interaction in Raipur village, Sharma accused the NC of exploiting the innocent people of Jammu and Kashmir for their own political gain.
“NC is the mother of militancy and turmoil in Jammu and Kashmir,” Sharma asserted.
“For decades, their divisive politics have caused immense suffering for the people of this region, with thousands of innocent lives, including security personnel, lost to violence. Now, they dare to dream of returning to power to revive their unfinished agenda of weakening the nation,” he said.
Sharma emphasized that the abrogation of Article 370 and 35-A by the Central Government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has brought about a significant transformation across Jammu and Kashmir.
“Today, law and order is normal, there is no curfew, no stone-pelting incidents, no institution closures, and no strikes,” he stated.
“The record number of tourists visiting every year and the successful hosting of the G-20 Summit in Kashmir are clear indicators of the positive impact of ending the so-called special status,” he added.
Expressing confidence in the formation of an exclusive BJP government in Jammu and Kashmir, Sharma declared, “The people of Jammu and Kashmir seek peace and development, and only the BJP can deliver on that promise. The voters are wise and will respond with a decisive mandate against those who aim to bring back an era of militancy. I urge the people not to be misled by the false propaganda of NC ,Congress and PDP, but to support the BJP in ensuring complete peace, harmony, and progress.”
In a significant political development, NC District President Randhir Singh Raipuria, along with his supporters, joined the BJP during the event.
Citing inspiration from Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s pro-poor policies and programs, Raipuria expressed his commitment to strengthening the party.
Welcoming Raipuria into the BJP fold, Sharma remarked, “His joining will bolster the party at the grassroots level and strengthen our resolve to work for the betterment of Jammu and Kashmir.”
