BJP remembers Syama Prasad Mookerjee

| New Delhi |

Launching a scathing attack against the Mamata Banerjee-led government in West Bengal, BJP president JP Nadda on Monday alleged that criminalisation of politics and corruption had scaled new heights, calling for its ouster from the poll-bound state.
Addressing a virtual rally on the birth anniversary of Bharatiya Jana Sangh founder Syama Prasad Mookerjee, Nadda recalled his contributions for �nation-building and national unity�, alleging that despite requests Congress� Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru did not launch an inquiry into his death.
�He was kept in a jail in Srinagar following which his health deteriorated and he died under suspicious circumstances. His mother requested Nehru for an inquiry into the death of her son, but Nehru did not allow it to happen. This shows Congress� undemocratic face. No one knows how he died,� Nadda said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and top BJP leaders paid tributes to Mookerjee on his birth anniversary and contributions towards India�s development and its unity.
Nadda said Mookherjee opposed the �appeasement politics� of Jawaharlal Nehru and if today Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab and Bengal are an inseparable part of India it was because of his efforts.
It is an honour to celebrate the day at a time when Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led BJP government has abrogated Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir. �It is due to Syama Prasad Mookerjee that Bengal and Punjab are with India. Otherwise, they would have gone to Pakistan during Partition. He opposed the appeasement politics of Nehru but the Congress has a bad habit of stifling democratic voices.
�When their ideals did not match, he resigned from Nehru�s cabinet. He questioned the reason behind special rights being given to Jammu and Kashmir through Article 370,� Nadda said also attacking the Trinamool Congress government over the �mismanagement of coronavirus cases� and �politicisation of education�.
�The trend is worrisome for Bengal. We must dedicate ourselves to restore education in Bengal back to its glorious standards,� he said.
Nadda said on one hand there was Mookerjee who fought for a united India, keeping his ideals and principles above anything, and on the other, there was the TMC government �clinging to power by any means�.
�Criminalisation of politics has scaled new heights, now we all hear about cut money�.we have to cut to size these leaders, restore the glory of Bengal and remove this government,� he said.
