Jammu, Sep 29 (UNI) Senior BJP leader and former Union Minister, Anurag Thakur, on Sunday said that the Cong Party always stands with the enemies of the nation instead of the country and questions the sacrifices of our jawans demanding proof of their achievements.
While Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Defence Minister were at the border boosting the morale of the soldiers, Rahul Gandhi was holding meetings with Chinese officials behind closed doors during Galwan conflict.
He said that the Gandhi family has received crores of rupees from China, which is why they stand with China rather than India.
He said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has taken revolutionary steps to improve the living standards of the weaker sections of society, and the BJP will form its government in Jammu and Kashmir with a full majority.
While addressing public gatherings in support of party candidate Gharu Ram Bhagat in Suchetgarh, Thakur said that the Modi government has taken solid steps to strengthen the country’s defense system, including the creation of Rafale and Tejas fighter jets, and implemented the One Rank One Pension policy for soldiers.
He noted that PM Modi celebrates Diwali with the soldiers instead of his family.
Thakur accused Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi of accepting crores of rupees from China under the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation, which is why they stand with Chinese officials rather than with Indian soldiers.
He added that during Congress rule, thousands of acres of land were given to China, but since Modi’s arrival, not an inch of Indian land has been taken.
He said that during the Emergency, forced sterilization and the mass jailing of people were among the atrocities committed. If not for Ambedkar’s Constitution, the Emergency might never have ended, he claimed.
He said that in the last ten years, the Narendra Modi government has developed several sites named after Bhimrao Ambedkar and taken numerous welfare measures for the Dalit community.
He mentioned that it was the BJP that granted reservations to ST Gujjars, Bakarwals, and the Pahari community.
Thakur questioned the Congress and National Conference’s soft stance on Pakistan, recalling that after the surgical strikes, Pakistan was shouting about its destroyed hideouts, while some Indian leaders were asking for proof.
Thakur further said that Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has disclosed their relations with Congress and the National Conference, stating that they are on the same page regarding Article 370.
