Chandigarh, December 16
Punjab Congress president Sunil Jakhar today said while the Congress broke down an enemy nation into two parts in 1971, the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is trying to break the social fabric of its own country.
"Tukde tukde is the characteristic theme of the BJP's strategy to survive by dividing people," Jakhar said while pointing out how the party was "trying to divide people in the name of region and religion for its survival".
In a statement issued on the occasion of 49th Vijay Divas celebrated to mark the birth of Bangladesh, Jakhar said the BJP should learn from the Congress as to how it united people of the country to defeat an enemy nation. "Without unity among different sections, it would not have been possible to divide Pakistan into two pieces," he said.
Taking a dig at PM Narendra Modi's claims of '56 inch chest', Jakhar said, "You don't need to have a large chest, you need to be large-hearted to listen to your people and address their grievances." He said the PM was insensitive and indifferent to the plight of farmers.
