Thank the BJP Govt for doing what your Indira Gandhi could not do: Girdhari Lal Raina

Rahul Gandhi must apologize for Kashmir policy of his family & Party that ruined J&K, particularly Kashmiri Pandits

JAMMU AND KASHMIR, January 20: Former MLC & JK UT spokesperson of BJP Girdhari Lal Raina asked Rahul Gandhi to apologize for sins of his party and Family that ruined Jammu and Kashmir and brought unlimited miseries to its people. From Jawahar lal Nehru to Dr. Manmohan Singh, the policy of Congress party has been to appease and encourage communal and separatist forces in Jammu and Kashmir.

GL Raina reminded Congress how Jawahar Lal Nehru the self-proclaimed democrat advised the Kashmiri Pandits at a mammoth gathering at historic Sheetal-nath grounds to join, reinforce and strengthen the National Conference or bid good-bye to the country.

Indira Gandhi the then Prime Minister in a letter to Dr. Mitra in 1981 not only expressed her grief for not being able to own a piece of land or home from where her “ forefathers came”, she accepted that “Kashmiri Pandits and the Buddhists in Ladakh are being very unfairly treated and discriminated against”, Raina recalled. Yet the Congress party was unable to do anything and deliver justice to these communities, he added.

BJP Spokesperson asked Rahul Gandhi and Congress party to thank Honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP for doing away with discriminatory Article 370 & 35 A that prohibited Indira Gandhi from owning any Land or Home in Jammu Kashmir. If you so desire you can now purchase land and construct a house anywhere in UT except for protected areas like Dachigam Wildlife sanctuary.

People of Jammu Kashmir are wise enough to recognize your ulterior motives that you have depicted time again including during this Yatra by involving controversial and discredited people who have always worked against strong and united India, Raina asserted.

Kashmiri Pandits recall with a lot of pain and agony the role your late father Rajiv Gandhi played during 1986-90 that led to our mass exodus. Even after 1990 your father and party blamed Jagmohan ji who came as messiah for the community provided a little succor in the times of devastation, Former MLC emphasized.
