State BJP today reacted strongly on the statement of JPCC president Ajaoy Kumar where he has said that the Congress will do Patthalgadi at NH 33. One of the BJP spokespersons Pratul Shahdeo said that Kumar has no knowledge of the culture of the State, especially about Patthalgadi, which is done for bordering or marking someone’s death.
He said that the statement of Ajoy Kumar was against the culture and rituals of the State and is an insult to the tribal residents. He also said that Congress has a history of supporting those who want disintegration of the nation giving examples of separatism in Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab and LTTE. He wanted to know why Congress is always behind anti-nation think tank.
He said that no one can question the unity and integrity of the country in the name of freedom of expression. “If Dr Ajoy Kumar posts his message on Facebook then law will take its own course and the people of the State, who are watching everything will take due action in 2019 elections,” he added.
