JAMMU: Condemning today’s Pak sponsored attack at GREF Camp in Jourian, scores of Panther activists spearheaded by Harsh Dev Singh, Chairman JKNPP and Yash Paul Kundal State President Young Panthers along with other leaders slammed Pakistan for its despicable cowardly act to vitiate peace and tranquillity in the State. The angry protestors amid raising anti-Pak slogans torched the effigy of the rogue country at Exhibition Ground, here on Monday.
Addressing the media, Harsh lambasted Pakistan for its malicious and mischievous designs in sponsoring militant attacks on defence bases in J and K besides aiding secessionists in Kashmir and abetting terror attacks all over the country. Condemning today’s Fidayeen attack on GREF Camp in Battal, Jourian, he further accused Pakistan for pushing militants into our territory all along IB and LoC under the cover of mortar shelling to vitiate peace and harmony of the State and the Country.
Singh said that Pakistan’s notoriety had now assumed alarming proportions as PM Nawaz Sharief, its Army Chief and dreaded clerics were blatantly supporting the secessionists and other disruptive forces operational in the State.
He said that Pakistan had not been mending ways despite repeated warnings at appropriate forums and maintained that it was high time that India launched a full throttle campaign against Pakistan at international level for latter’s peace threatening terror attacks on our soil.
Urging upon the GoI to go the whole hog against belligerent neighbour for its export of terror, Harsh said that the issue of economic sanctions against Pakistan with stoppage of all financial aid from institutions like IMF, World Bank, ADB was required to be pursued vigorously. While taking a dig at the NDA Government, Singh regretted that the BJP which would harp on its jingoistic harangues and anti-Pak stance earlier had miserably retreated from its tall pronouncements.
He recalled that PM during his speech on Indus Water Treaty earlier had categorically spelled out that blood and water could not flow together
but regretted that no concrete deterrent action had been initiated against the belligerent nation so far.
He also regretted that despite several deliberations the status conferred upon Pakistan for ‘Most Favoured Nation’ had also not been withdrawn by the GoI and its repeated failures to take an appropriate decisive action had only emboldened the terror organizations working with ISI in Pakistan to execute such attacks. While paying tributes to the three martyrs who laid down their lives for the Motherland at Battal, Jourian, Singh expressed his condolences to the bereaved families. Kundal, while accusing Pakistan for fomenting trouble in the State, said that it had created dozens of terror groups in the name of ‘Jehad’ who were resorting to violence and such terror attacks. He maintained that frequency of the terror attacks on Indian forces by Pakistan called for stern measures against the rogue nation by taking the world community into confidence.
Prominent among those who led the protest included Rajesh Padgotra, Gagan Pratap, Raj Kumar, Nirmal Kishore, Mohinder Singh, Udhayveer, Vishav Singh, Khajoor Singh, Mohan Lal, Satvir, Puran Chand, Shankar Singh Sanju, Ajeet Sharma, Narinder Sharma and Sansar Chand besides others.
