J&K Dy CM uses school premises for promoting party factionlism
Despite the fact that annual examinations are approaching, the public meeting was conducted on Friday (January 21) which was a working day and nuisance created by the workers of the Congress, made the poor and hapless students suffer.
THE GOVERNMENT schools have turned into political battlefields in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. The menace is not created by any other political party but the ruling Congress itself. The tall claims of the government and its ministers are belied when its ministers organise political meetings in the premises of the government schools that too on working days which effect the studies of the poor students badly. The menace came to fore when the Deputy Chief Minister Tara Chand organised a public meeting in the government middle school in Pargwal recently. Despite the fact that annual examinations are approaching near, the public meeting was conducted on Friday (January 21) which was a working day and nuisance created by the workers of the Congress, made the poor and hapless students suffer.
The meeting was actually conducted by the Deputy Chief Minister Tara Chand, who is the MLA of that constituency, just to ask his workers to reach Parade Ground where loyalists of Union Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad are organising a programme to pay tribute to the ‘Father of Nation’ Mahatma Gandhi on January 30.
In his address, Tara Chand used all methods to lure his workers to reach in Parade Ground in large number. He even announced a prize of Rs 25 lakh for the village where from maximum number of workers reach in the rally site. Not only this, he also asked his leaders to bring atleast 25 buses from the Pargwal area saying that each bus should have 70 or 75 workers. Ironically, a Deputy Chief Minister has been asking for the overloading of buses.
He even admitted at the the rally that the function being organized by them is not Congress party function and cautioned his workers not to attend the party function at Gandhi Nagar.
Not naming any party leader but indirectly pointing out at Madan Lal Sharma and his brother, Tara Chand called them divisive forces and asked people to be vigilant against divisive forces. He also said that they are jealous of his achievements.
While a list of 67 persons was prepared by the local leaders, but to befool the masses of the state and other leaders, it was claimed in the government press note that hundreds of people from the area joined party.
Tara Chand, who is close to Ghulam Nabi Azad, has been leading party faction in the state and has launched a move against the Pradesh Congress Committee chief Prof Saif-Ud-Din Soz. Not only this, he has also launched a move against his mentors, Member Parliament Madan Lal Sharma and his brother Health Minister Sham Lal Sharma.
Interestingly, these handful of leaders have been organising separate function when the PCC president Prof Soz is organising a function at Gandhi Nagar. What is prompting this faction to organise function at Parade ground when the party is already holding a function at Gandhi Nagar for paying tributes to Mahatma Gandhi? While these leaders befool the masses by making tall claims of unity and strengthening of the party when they are themselves promoting factionalism.
