JAMMU: The BJP SC Morcha National General Secretary, Sanjay Nirmal, on Friday said that Congress, since independence, has always been against the SCs, STs and OBCs and it did not even give due respect to architect of Indian Constitution, BR Ambedakar.
“The Cong’s hatred against SCs, STs and OBCs has again come to fore after Rahul Gandhi, on foreign soil, said that they will scrap reservation of the SCs and other backward communities,” Nirmal said, while addressing a press conference at BJP media center, here today.
BJP’s State SC Morcha General Secretary, Adarsh Jathiar and Media In-charge, Dr. Pradeep Mahotra, were also present in the press conference.
Nirmal said that Cong hatched conspiracy in 1952 and 54 elections to make sure that the architect of Indian Constitution, BR Ambedkar does not enter the Parliament. “This shows anti-SC, ST and anti OBC stand of the Cong,” he said.
Cong has no respect for the constitution, he said, adding, “It used Article 356 for 90 times to topple opposition govts”. Is this the respect, Congress has for constitution?, Nirmal questioned.
Modi Govt amended Indian constitution 8 times and that only for the welfare and upliftment of SCs, STs, OBCs and other backward classes, he said and added that Congress made numerous amendments for their political benefits.
After 2014, under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, not only was the spirit of the Indian Constitution upheld, but the principles of Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar was also respected, making the welfare of weaker sections of society a priority, he said.
“NC-Cong are planning to snatch reservation of SCs, STs and OBCs but people will teach them a lesson in these elections as they have realized that only BJP can take care of their interests,” he said.
Nirmal said that Congress and National Conference enforced Articles 370 and 35A through the backdoor in Jammu and Kashmir. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, by revoking these, ensured the rights of the weaker sections, he said.
