It should learn from the Congress as how it united the people, says Punjab Congress chief.
Punjab Congress chief Sunil Jakhar on Wednesday said while the Congress had divided 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 BJP’s strategy to survive by dividing people,” said Mr. Jakhar, while accusing the BJP of trying to divide people in the name of region and religion for its survival.
In a statement issued on the occasion of the 49th Vijay Diwas celebrated to mark the birth of Bangladesh, Mr. Jakhar said the BJP should learn from the Congress as how it united the people to defeat an “enemy-nation”. “Without the unity among different sections of the people, it would not have been possible to divide Pakistan into two pieces.”
