The Chhattisgarh unit of the BJP termed historical the Centre’s move to repeal Article 370 and Article 35-A of the Constitution of India from Jammu-Kashmir, which will pave the way for bifurcation of the northern states into two Union Territories – Jammu and Kashmir with a legislature and Ladakh without one.
BJP state president Vikram Usendi said under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union home minister Amit Shah, the Central government by taking a decision to repeal the two contentious Articles has worked towards integrating Kashmir with rest of the country.
BJP national vice president and former chief minister Raman Singh said Modi and Shah had rectified the historical mistake and spread the message of nationalism. The much trampled dream of nationalists for so many years now has been realized. The dream of Jan Sangh founder Dr Syama Prasad Mukherjee and former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee has been fulfilled.
Welcoming the decision, BJP national general secretary and MP Saroj Pandey said it’s a moment of joy and emotions. BJP Scheduled Tribe Cell national president and MP Ramvichar Netam said Modi government has hit hard on the separatists. It would further strengthen nationalism.
Union minister of state for tribal affairs Renuka Singh said it would help find solution for the infrastructural problems of Jammu-Kashmir and Ladakh area along with eliminating separatists and terrorist forces.
Leader of Opposition Dharamlal Kaushik said a historical work has been done by finding a permanent solution to the problem of Jammu and Kashmir. The sacrifice of Dr Syama Prasad Mukherjee has been honoured. BJP Rajya Sabha MPS Ranvijay Singh Judeo, Santosh Pandey, Sunil Soni, Vijay Baghel, Mohan Mandavi, Chunnilal Sahu, Arun Sao, Gomati Sai and Guharam Ajgale, state BJP spokespersons have also welcomed the decision terming it as a new hope for people of Jammu-Kashmir and a positive political decision.
