Congress’s GA Mir urges voters to teach BJP a lesson for betrayal
Exhorting the people to teach BJP a lesson for allegedly betraying their trust, the All India Congress Committee (AICC) general secretary Ghulam Ahmed Mir on Friday said that the ongoing elections in J&K are not just about electing MLAs or forming a government, “but about teaching the BJP a lesson for its treachery and anti-people policies”.
“For too long, the BJP has taken our people for granted, making false promises and backstabbing us at every turn. They downgraded our prestigious Dogra state to a Union Territory, snatched away our special status and reduced our state subject to a mere domicile state. They even took away our Dogra certificate, a symbol of our pride and identity,” Mir said while addressing a public meeting in Khour in support of party candidates Tara Chand from Chhamb Assembly segment and Ashok Bhagat from Akhnoor.
“We have an opportunity to restore our dignity and honour. These elections are crucial for deciding the future of our people, and we must seize this chance to reclaim our rights and our voice”, he said, adding “we owe it to ourselves, our children, and our beloved J&K.”
Mir launched a scathing attack on the BJP, accusing it of depriving the people of Jammu and Kashmir of their fundamental right to self-governance by snatching away their statehood. Mir also criticised the BJP’s policies in the region, labelling them as anti-people and detrimental to the interests of the citizens.
