JAMMU, Feb 14: Many a Congressmen in Jammu and Kashmir have denounced the stand taken by AICC vice president Rahul Gandhi over JNU incident, wherein several students had raised seditious slogans in the university campus earlier this week.
While Rahul Gandhi along with Delhi PCC president Ajay Maken and former Minister Anand Sharma had visited the JNU campus and supported the open sedition by certain sections of students in the name of freedom of expression, many in the JKPCC do not approve the act of their leader. Many a workers and office bearers in the PCC unit at Jammu have expressed their dissent privately, arguing that Rahul's support to the students who openly raised anti India and pro Pakistan slogans had projected him and the Congress party in bad light. "This was totally unwarranted for Rahulji to have gone to JNU and said what he said" a senior officer bearer of the PCC said pleading anonymity. "What happened at JNU on the eve of hanging of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru needed to be condemned unequivocally by one and all and there was no point in supporting those who took to open sedition" he added.
Congress party has been projecting Rahul as the leader of the Youth and that is why, he has been pro active in the incident involving students including suicide by Rohit Vemula at Hyderabad University, protests against chairman nominate FTII Pune recently. However, there is an opinion within the Jammu party unit that he is being ill advised on certain issues. "JNU incident was a sensitive one and entire nation was in state of shock over the manner in which the protesters had glorified the Parliament attacker and raised slogans pledging to fight till devastation of India; it made no political sense for Rahul to stand on the side of students who shook the conscience of entire nation" said a former Congress legislator from Jammu, wishing not be named.
Pranav Shaghotra, the president of the Pradesh Youth Congress J&K though defended Rahul's visit reiterated that those who raised anti national slogans need to be identified and booked under law. "Rahul ji did not endorse those who raised anti national slogans, we want that seditious elements should be identified and booked under law but others should not be victimized" he averred. |
