Dharamshala, 16 May (Hindustan Reporter) Congress candidate from Kangra-Chamba Lok Sabha constituency and former Union Minister Anand Sharma campaigned in various areas of Dalhousie Assembly of Chamba district. Addressing the public meeting organized on this occasion, he said that in the current Lok Sabha elections, the leaders of the ruling party are continuously drawing lines in the country and society with their harsh speeches.
He said that the elections will be held, but the bitterness being created will create tension, which will harm the country and society. Without naming Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other BJP leaders, he said that in their thoughts, they scare the people of the country by showing such a scary scene that what will happen if they do not come.
He asked whether India had no identity before Narendra Modi became PM? He cautioned the people of the country and said that the leaders of the ruling party are trying to create such an atmosphere as if nothing had happened in the country before the formation of their government, which is a complete lie.
Anand Sharma said that after independence, Congress laid the foundation of the country. The thinking of Congress is inclusive. Every section of the society was given equal status without any discrimination of caste, religion and region. Our Constitution also believes the same, but unfortunately someone is saying such harsh words, whose thinking is not inclusive. Lines are continuously being drawn in the country and society for electoral gains.
Anand Sharma said that due to the call of time, all the parties want to come together and save democracy. There is an atmosphere of fear in the country. Government institutions are being misused. Opponents are being targeted. He said that in view of these circumstances he had to contest the elections.
He said that the old people have seen the country and Himachal moving forward. He said that every citizen of the country has been given constitutional rights without any discrimination, which cannot be taken away by anyone. Even if someone makes such an attempt, the Supreme Court intervenes and stops it. Each vote of every citizen together forms the government.
Anand Sharma said that if Modi becomes the Prime Minister, it says that India was weak before us. Whereas the truth is that before he became PM, the country was a nuclear power, a space power and Chandrayaan had also gone to the moon and the tricolor had landed on the moon. He said that India became independent in 1947 after centuries of slavery, there was a shortage of resources, people were less educated, there were no institutions, there were no factories. After this many institutions and factories were built.
