Will carry forward vision and values of architects of extraordinary Constitution: Bhalla
STATE TIMES NEWS
JAMMU: Divisive forces are attempting to turn our diversity against us but India will reject hatred and vicious agenda cannot go on any longer. This was stated by JKPCC Working President Raman Bhalla while leading Jai Bharat Satyagrah March in Ward -57 Model Town from Marakhri.
Prominent among those who joined March include Corporator Inderjeet Kour, Rajinder Singh Randhawa, Ashok Kumar, Madan Lal, Janak Raj, Gurjeet Singg, Kuldeep Raj, Ramesh Lal, Waram Chand besides others.
Bhalla said under BJP rule, there is a palpable economic crisis brewing- joblessness among the youth, unbearable price rise, severe farm distress, and a complete corporate capture of the country’s wealth.
“Today, even our plurality is under threat. Divisive forces are attempting to turn our diversity against us — different religions, communities, regions are being pitted against each other. These forces, which are only a handful in number, know that only when people feel insecure and scared can they sow the seeds of hatred for the ‘other’. But after Jai Bharat Satyagrah Yatra, I am convinced that this vicious agenda has its limits, and it cannot go on any longer,” he said.
“Congress during its tenure created economic prosperity for everyone – right price for farmers’ produce, jobs for our youth, fair distribution of the country’s wealth, an enabling environment for MSMEs and entrepreneurs, cheaper diesel, a stronger rupee, and a gas cylinder for Rs. 500,” he said.
The people of our country realise that they cannot reach their full potential unless they embrace our diversity and work shoulder to shoulder, he said.
“There is need to rise above caste, religion, language, gender, and all other differences that cause rifts in a society. Our greatness lies in our Unity in Diversity,” said Bhalla. “We will carry forward the vision and values of those who gave us our extraordinary Constitution,” Bhalla said. Bhalla flayed the alleged propaganda launched by BJP leadership on making massive developments in J&K and said that reality is that only public miseries and chaos were created during the last nine years in J&K. He said that BJP is trying to divert the attention of public from basic issues.
Bhalla expressed serious concern over sufferings of Old age, widows and handicapped persons demanding the release of pension in their favour regularly and timely. Bhalla appealed Lieutenant Governor and the Social Welfare Department not make them suffer for the want to money which is rightfully theirs and do the needful in getting the same released without any further delay.
