Gupkar Declaration meant for ‘thrusting’ decisions on common people: Brig Anil Gupta

Jammu: BJP J&K spokesperson Brigadier Anil Gupta on Tuesday hit out to parties of Gupkar Declaration, saying the group is meant for thrusting decisions of handful of political parties to common masses.

Talking exclusively to Kashmir News Service (KNS), BJP leader while hitting out to regional political parties including NC, PDP and others said they want to continue ‘Khandani Raj’ in J&K and for that matter Gupkar Declaration is meant for the purpose. “Gupkar Declaration is meant for continuing Khandani Raj in UT while these parties are thrusting their decisions upon common people”, he said.

About election, Gupta said that it is the job of Election Commissioner who can take a call. “We are politicians and can’t decide when elections are conducted. Right now delimitation process across UT is underway and till its completion, there seems no headway to elections”, Gupta added.

He said Government of Jammu and Kashmir has decided to conduct DDC elections which will be a reason for strengthening democracy at grass root level.

Gupta condemned the comments of French President Emmanuel Macron about Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and said what he did, was condemned one and all.

“BJP has denounced the remarks of French President. His remarks hurt the sentiments of Muslims across the globe. Same Hindus living in Bangladesh are being harassed but nobody has shown any concern”, he said.

Lashing out on Congress party, Gupta said that Rahul Gandhi has been silenced over persecution of Hindus in Bangladesh. “Congress is playing double game and didn’t utter a sympathy with Hindus being harassed outside India”, he said.

“When there was agitation on CAA in country, Congress took undue advantage of the situation and endorsed its support in fanning trouble. But when Hindus outside country are being harassed the party is keeping silence”, BJP spokesperson said.

Gupta added that all human beings are brother to each other. “Our forefathers are same. Our blood is red. We can’t be divided on the basis of religion. If people are practicing their respective religions that is their personal choice”, he said adding till all humans will not live together, humanity can’t prosper and develop. (KNS)
