BJP national president Rajnath Singh on Tuesday said that the UPA should have stopped the dialogue process with Pakistan against the sinister move of its Army but Congress leaders have failed to protect the interests of country.
Addressing the gathering on the death anniversary function of Sant Harchand Singh longowal, he said that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh owes an answer to the country that why the Government had been mute spectators to the killing of brave soldiers of our country. He said that due to the wrong policies of successive Congress Government, India has failed to emerge as a strong Nation whereas many other smaller nations who got independent after India have now emerged much stronger than our country.
The National BJP president said that as country’s prestige was at stake so Punjabis must take the lead in initiating a spree to uproot the Congress from power.
Rajnath further said that the country was facing a grave crisis as both China and Pakistan were posing serious threats to the sovereignty of the country. The feeble UPA Government has failed to give the befitting reply to them, he added. Paying rich tributes to Sant Harchand Singh longowal, he said that Sant longowal had laid down his life for ensuring communal harmony, peace and amity in the country.
He also recalled the valuable contribution made by Punjabis in preserving the unity and integrity of the country besides safeguarding its borders. In his address, former Union Minister and national spokesperson of BJP, Shahnawaz Hussain said that the country was weakening with every passing day and the strengthening of Dollar in comparison to Rupee was a reflection of that.
“The prestige of the nation was at lowest ebb due to the wrong policies of UPA, he said while adding that it was writing on the wall that the NDA would form the next Government at the Centre after which the country’s prestige would be enhanced.
