NC-Congress alliance threat to national unity, Jammu's future: BJP

Jammu, Aug 27: J&K BJP Chief Spokesperson Sunil Sethi today said that the National Conference (NC)- Congress alliance is a threat to national unity and Jammu’ future.

He was addressing a press conference here. Sethi also said that BJP manifesto will be released soon. He added that his  leadership committed to statehood.

Suni Sethi accused the NC of promoting separatism and terrorism in their manifesto and questioned the Congress party's decision to align with such forces.

"JKNC's manifesto explicitly talks about separatism, releasing jailed individuals involved in anti-national activities, and halting security measures like frisking on roads. Despite this, the Congress has chosen to join hands with a party that supports separatist and terrorist agendas," the BJP leader stated.

He questioned the intentions of the Congress and said, "Does the Congress party endorse the NC's agenda? Do the people of Jammu want the restoration of Article 370 and 35A? Do they want to see an increase in terrorism and the return of separatist forces?"

Sunil Sethi emphasised that the alliance between NC and Congress is a deceptive move to mislead the people of Jammu. "Congress leaders present themselves differently to the public, but their alliance with NC shows their true intentions. They are working against the interests of Jammu," he added.

Contrasting the BJP's stance, Sunil Sethi highlighted the party's commitment to national unity and support for patriotic citizens. He said “BJP has always stood by those who sacrificed their lives for the country. We gave our mandate in Kishtwar to the daughter of such patriots. In contrast, NC and PDP have consistently supported individuals who advocate terrorism and separatism.”
