JAMMU: JK PCC 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 safeguard its unity and integrity.
Reacting strongly to the BJP’s assertions in this regard, the Congress 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 Government and real issue of grave sufferings being faced by the people across the country by demonetisation without adequate preparations and arrangements, said a resolution adopted by JKPCC executive in a meeting held here on Saturday under the chairmanship of G.A Mir.
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 and secular fabric of this nation.
