Congress Leader Pawan Khera Defends Mallikarjun Kharge’s Statement on BJP
Congress leader Pawan Khera defended party chief Mallikarjun Kharge’s statement that BJP members will eventually go to jail for their actions. Khera stated, “If not today, then tomorrow, these people will indeed have to go behind bars. The kind of things that they have done, they think they are safe, but they are not. They will go to jail.”
Kharge’s Call for Unity
In a public meeting in Jammu and Kashmir, Kharge emphasized the importance of the alliance and supporters being unafraid of BJP. He urged everyone to fight together and not blame each other. Kharge said, “They (BJP) used to say 400 paar, 400 paar, where are your 400 seats? They stopped at 240 this time. If we had 20 more seats, then all these people would have been in jail, and they deserve to be there. So I appeal to everyone to not get angry, but instead fight. Your captain is strong, and unafraid, everyone here is unafraid. The leaders are here to help solve any problem in Jammu and Kashmir. We need to win, we need to fight together, but while fighting, we should not blame each other.”
BJP’s Response
BJP leaders in Jammu expressed strong objections to Kharge’s remarks. BJP leader Prem Shukla compared Kharge’s statement to actions taken during Indira Gandhi’s emergency rule in 1975, where thousands of opposition leaders were jailed without charges. Shukla said, “Mallikarjun Kharge, under the directions of Rahul Gandhi, is dreaming about the emergency to be reimposed.”
Upcoming Elections
Polling in Jammu and Kashmir is scheduled to be held in three phases: September 18, September 25, and October 1. The counting of votes is scheduled for October 8.
