STATE TIMES NEWS
JAMMU: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday asked the State to ensure maintenance of high surveillance on Mughal Road connecting twin border districts of Rajouri and Poonch and also to ensure that road is used for people’s contact and for trade and business activities and not for fermenting trouble and hatred in peace loving society of twin districts.
While making strong case for heightened security check and sanitising the people travelling on Mughal Road, State Chief Spokesperson of BJP Sunil Sethi said that road is being used by radical and fringe elements of Kashmir for anti national, anti social, divisive and illegal activities.
The people of twin districts are not getting the benefits which should have flowed to them through road constructed and maintained by government at high cost, he said adding that there are reports of increased distribution and availability of narcotics in twin districts moving through Mughal Road which is very serious. This drug money being used in separatist activities is also highly probable.
Sethi further said that radical separatist elements from Valley are frequently visiting the twin border districts to fan communal hatred and disturbances which was evidenced in recent events when unrest in Kashmir at behest of Pakistan and it’s stooges was sought to be spread in these two districts. They couldn’t succeed because of traditional communal harmony prevailing in region is another aspect. These type of anti national activities being spread to Jammu is not acceptable and tolerable to BJP.
Sunil further noted that similar attempts to vitiate peace in Doda, Bhadarwah and Kishtwar has also been made by separatists to effect division of society on communal and religious lines which is highly deplorable. The effect to engineer demographic changes in Jammu region will never be tolerated by BJP. Party will always stand for communal harmony and national integrity.
While Jammu has always welcomed the people who have to migrate from other regions for different reasons as also people who come for settlement and Jammuites have always shown big heart but it will show no tolerance for elements who come to Jammu to create trouble
and indulge in anti national activities or who come with sinister designs to disrupt communal harmony and peace. Sunil Sethi said persons with hatred in agenda and mind filled with anti nationalism will not be permitted to settle or grow by Jammu society.
