Jammu: Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Committee (JKPCC) working president Raman Bhalla Thursday stated that the party would continue to fight, what he alleged, “vendetta politics of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).”
He was addressing a series of rallies organised by JKPCC in different parts of Jammu district, including at Talab Tillo and Dansal, as part of the ‘Jai Bharat Satyagraha’ launched by All India Congress Committee (AICC). Similar other programmes were held elsewhere in the province.
Besides Bhalla, JKPCC chief spokesperson Ravinder Sharma and former minister and in-charge DCC president Jammu Urban Yogesh Sawhney were the main speakers at the Talab Tillo rally organised by secretary PCC Sanjeev Panda. Sonika Sharma, Corporator, Darshan Verma, Janak Mehra, Satosh Bhagat, Neeraj Gupta besides others participated in the rally.
Later, Bhalla, Ravinder Sharma and district president Jammu Rural Hari Singh Chib addressed a rally at Dansal. They were joined by Thakur Romal Singh and Thakur Balbir Singh.
Speaking on the occasion, Bhalla said that the Congress would do everything to save democracy of the country, alleging that the BJP-led government at the Centre was stifling democracy. He alleged that Rahul Gandhi was “targeted because he asked the Prime Minister about the Adani group.” Taking a dig at BJP, Bhalla alleged even “if one committed a grave crime, the person would be excused if he or she was willing to join the BJP.”
“Indian democracy is in danger, if a person raises voice and questions the government, they will slap different charges to silence him or her,” Bhalla claimed. “Every right thinking citizen of the country must come together irrespective of their political affiliation and safeguard democracy,” he appealed. Bhalla claimed that Rahul Gandhi always stood by the truth and the people of India.
He appealed party members to gear up to make a sacrifice for Rahul Gandhi by defeating the designs of the BJP.
JKPCC chief spokesperson Ravinder Sharma said people of the country would have to come forward and fight, what he alleged, “the undemocratic regime.” “If we want to save the country, 130 crore Indians will have to come forward and lead the fight. It does not matter which party comes to power. What is of concern is the way our democracy is being tarnished and attacked,” he added. He accused the BJP government of targeting Rahul Gandhi to stop him from exposing the corruption of the government. Yogesh Sawhney alleged that the poor and unemployed youth were “being burdened with unprecedented price rise and record unemployment but the BJP was trying to divert the attention of people from real issues. District President Jammu Rural Hari Singh Chib and Sanjeev Panda accused the BJP of betraying people of Jammu region with its, what they alleged, “anti-people, anti-youth and anti-Jammu decisions.”
Later a protest ‘Satyagrah rally’ was taken out in the main bazar of Talab Tillo.
