Vote bank politics

He said that the BJP does not do vote bank politics. “The BJP does politics for the country. We work with the resolution of the nation first,” he asserted.

He said that since the time Jana Sangh was formed, we have been opposing Article 370, even though our political strength was less. “But we never compromised on the issues of the country,” he added.

He said that infiltrators are also against the country. “Many countries have expelled infiltrators. Pakistan has also expelled Afghans, even if they are Muslims,” he pointed out.

Jharkhand HC also serious on infiltration

He said that the Jharkhand High Court has also considered the problem of infiltration in the state as serious. “All the Deputy Commissioners of the districts have been instructed to take action in this direction,” he added.

He said that the state government should stop appeasement and take strict action against infiltrators.
