The Opposition party has scheduled the protest for the same day as the ruling National Conference’s planned protest at Jantar Mantar in Delhi, the first day of the monsoon session of Parliament, to “remind” the Union government of its promise of restoring statehood to J&K.
J&K BJP president and Rajya Sabha member Sat Sharma announced that the party will organise a major protest in Kashmir, exposing alleged “complete failure of the Omar Abdullah-led NC government to fulfil its constitutional responsibilities and electoral promises”.
“The Omar Abdullah government has failed to provide even basic governance. Instead of addressing unemployment, deteriorating public services, corruption and development issues, it is repeatedly attempting to divert public attention by raising issues like statehood to escape accountability for its own failures,” said Sharma. He said the BJP will continue to stand with the people and expose every anti-public decision of the government. BJP leaders also resolved to take the voice of the people to every corner of Kashmir.
