Muslims of Kashmir Valley have shown the BJP its right place by rejecting all its 33 candidates........ Hoshiarpur- In the backdrop of the BJP failing to get a single seat in the Muslim dominated Kashmir valley, the Dal Khalsa today castigated the SAD (Badal) and other splinter Sikh groups for allowing the Hindutva party to have a field day in Punjab. In a statement, party head H S Dhami said Muslims of Kashmir valley have shown the BJP its right place by rejecting all 33 candidates fielded by it in the valley. Ironically, the Sikhs of Punjab had allowed the BJP to strengthen its electoral base in the state courtesy the Badals. Dal Khalsa leader was of the view that ‘to safeguard their communitys interest, the Muslims of Kashmir were better aware and alert than Sikhs of Punjab, although both the communities had faced hardships, discriminations and politics of genocide played by Indian political establishment. The RSS - the mother of the BJP- has intensified efforts to influence Sikh vote bank by deliberately touching upon the sensitive issues that were dear to Sikhs, said he. “The BJP’s move to support the release of Sikh detainees who had completed their jail term, transfer of Chandigarh to Punjab, managing return of handful of families from Christianity to Sikhi fold and setting up of panel to look into the possibility of forming the SIT to probe 1984 carnage related cases, are clearly aimed to make foothold in Sikh Samaj”, he asserted. “Cautioning the Sikh population of Punjab not to fall in the trap of Hindutva party, he said they should be prepared to wage next phase of struggle against nefarious designs of the RSS”.
