SHILLONG, FEB 4: North East Congress Coordination Committee chairman and Meghalaya Pradesh Congress Committee president DD Lapang condemned the discriminatory and derogatory statement made by the BJP in its Vision Document released yesterday for the Delhi assembly election campaign where the people of the North East have been referred to as ‘immigrants’.
“This is an insult to all citizens and is to be condemned in the strongest measure,” Lapang said in a statement on Wednesday.
Lapang said that their (BJP) clarification that it was a clerical error only goes to show the sense of carelessness and the lackadaisical attitude the party practices and the shamelessness to take the people of this country for a ride.
Lapang said in its election mode, the real intentions and objectives of this party have been exposed and its agenda of social divide and pseudo nationalism is now out in the open,. He felt that the party has long been playing divisive and communalistic political rhetoric and time has come for the country to teach this party a lesson and direct it towards the door.
According to Lapang, no amount of apologies will heal the sense of hurt and betrayal felt by the people of the north east.
This is reflective of the step motherly and exploitative nature inherent in the basic premises of this party Lapang said adding that the NECCC is confident that the electorate of Delhi will start the nationwide trend in popping this gas filled bubble that is floating long after its due.- By Our Reporter
