Jammu, Apr 25 (UNI) Jammu and Kashmir Bharatiya Janata Party President Sat Sharma on Friday said some vested interests are working to disturb ongoing peace and progress in Jammu and Kashmir.
"Certain vested interests are working to disturb the ongoing peace, progress and communal harmony in the Jammu and Kashmir," Sharma said speaking at a ceremonial Hawan followed by a tribute ceremony (Shradhanjali Sabha) here at party headquarters to pay tribute to the martyrs of Pahalgam Terrorist Attack.
He emphasized that no religion preaches hatred among the fellow humans and the heinous acts of terrorism has to be condemned by all.
Sharma quoted the local Kashmiri business owners, who were left high and dry after this terrorist attack.
Earlier, they were appreciating the tremendous increase in their income and overall improvement in the socio-economic status of common Kashmiri after the abrogation of Articles 370 and 35A.
He also mentioned that the Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah is concerned over the safety of the citizens and are determined to retaliate strongly. Focusing on the commitment of Modi government, he said that all the culprits of Pahalgam Terrorist attack would be taught a lesson of lifetime.
Several senior BJP leaders attended the occasion.
BJP leaders performed the Hawan with customary rituals to pray for the Moksha to heavenly bound souls, then paid floral tributes and later concluded with a two-minutes silence praying for the departed souls.
The BJP leadership conveyed profound condolences to the families of the martyrs and called upon all sections of society to collectively strive for enduring peace and justice.
