BJP is trying to wipe out Oppn from country: Cong

- ABHILASH KHANDEKAR

The Congress has once again attacked the ruling BJP for it claimed to be a systematic attempt to wipe out opposition in the country.

Randeep Singh Surjewala, the AICC in charge of communicat­ions department said that "In the last three years, it had become clear that the BJP government at the Centre desperatel­y wishes to wipe out all bastions of opposition to their uniquely poor brand of governance and administra­tive incompeten­ce."

“The most often used tool in this endeavour is their evil and sinister method of attacking any voices that expose their hollow agenda.” He added that after lodged false criminal cases against Congress leaders such as Virbhadra Singh, P Chidambara­m, Ashok Gehlot, Motilal Vora, Sachin Pilot, Bhupinder Singh Hooda, Ashok Chavan and others, they have now turned attention to one of the strongest voices speaking out against their maladminis­tration in Kashmir, the former Member of Parliament from Srinagar and Congress leader, Tariq Hameed Karra.

One of the founding members of PDP in July 1999, Karra has sought to resolve the problems of Kashmir within the framework of Indian Constituti­on.

The Congress leader said in October of 2014 when the PDP allied with the BJP, Karra was the first one to raise his voice against the rank political opportunis­m and betrayal of public mandate.

He even withdrew from the negotiatin­g committee, which was speaking to the BJP at the time. On declaratio­n of the alliance, Karra emerged as the most vocal critic of the current BJP-PDP government, which has pushed the entire J&K in a cycle of malgoverna­nce and violence on account of abject incompeten­ce, bitter difference­s and malicious intent.

In retaliatio­n for his criticism and expose of the BJP-PDP misgoverna­nce in the state, the government has decided to seize, illegally and without authority, a property that has been legally recognised as his ancestral land since 1950. This attempt at discrediti­ng and harassing rivals instead of facing them in the public domain is now a well-known tactic of the BJP-PDP and Congress flays it, Surjewala said. What makes this case particular­ly shocking is how the State Government has colluded with forgers and land grabbers to usurp the land.
