Dismiss Jangra from BJP: Congress after his Pahalgam remark
The Congress party has demanded the immediate resignation of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Ram Chander Jangra, accusing him of making derogatory remarks against the wives of Pahalgam terror attack victims. Jangra’s comments have sparked widespread outrage and condemnation, with many calling for his dismissal from the BJP.
The controversy began when Jangra made a statement that women whose husbands were killed by terrorists in Pahalgam weren’t brave, which is why people died with folded hands. The comment was seen as a personal attack on the families of the victims, who had lost their loved ones in a brutal terrorist attack.
Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge was quick to condemn Jangra’s remarks, calling them reflective of the “petty mentality of RSS-BJP”. Kharge said that Jangra’s comments were not only insulting to the families of the victims but also showed a complete disregard for the sacrifices made by the jawans who lost their lives in the terror attack.
“This is not the first time that the BJP has shown its true colors. Jangra’s remarks are a reflection of the petty mentality of RSS-BJP, which has no respect for the sacrifices made by our jawans,” Kharge said. “We demand that Jangra resign immediately and apologize to the families of the victims. The BJP should also take strict action against him.”
The Congress party’s demand for Jangra’s resignation has been backed by many other parties and civil society groups. The National Conference, the Peoples Democratic Party, and the Communist Party of India (Marxist) have all condemned Jangra’s remarks, calling them unacceptable and insensitive.
The BJP, however, has defended Jangra, saying that his comments were taken out of context and were meant to praise the bravery of the victims’ families. Party spokesperson Sambit Patra said that Jangra was trying to say that even in the face of terror, people in Pahalgam continued to live with folded hands, showing their courage and resilience.
“This is a clear case of misinterpretation. Jangra was trying to praise the bravery of the people of Pahalgam, but unfortunately, his words were twisted to mean something else,” Patra said. “We stand by Jangra and will not accept any demands for his resignation.”
Despite the BJP’s defense of Jangra, many people are calling for his dismissal from the party. The families of the Pahalgam terror attack victims have also demanded an apology from Jangra and the BJP.
“We are hurt and outraged by Jangra’s comments. He has no right to disrespect the memories of our loved ones who sacrificed their lives for the country,” said a family member of one of the victims. “We demand that Jangra resign and apologize to us. The BJP should also take action against him.”
The controversy over Jangra’s remarks has once again highlighted the deep divisions between the BJP and the Congress. The Congress has long accused the BJP of being insensitive to the plight of the people, and Jangra’s comments have provided fresh ammunition for the party.
The BJP, on the other hand, has accused the Congress of trying to politicize the issue and distract attention from its own failures. The party has also accused the Congress of being hypocritical, pointing out that many Congress leaders have made similar comments about the bravery of the people in the past.
The controversy over Jangra’s remarks has also raised questions about the role of politicians in society. Many people are asking whether politicians should be allowed to make such derogatory comments about people who have lost their loved ones in terror attacks.
The answer to this question is clear: politicians should not be allowed to make such comments. They should be held to a higher standard of behavior and should be expected to show respect and compassion for people who have suffered in any way.
In conclusion, Jangra’s remarks have sparked a major controversy and have raised important questions about the role of politicians in society. The Congress party has demanded his resignation and apology, and many other parties and civil society groups have backed their demand. The BJP, on the other hand, has defended Jangra and has accused the Congress of trying to politicize the issue.
Ultimately, the question is not whether Jangra’s remarks were meant to be offensive or not, but whether they were acceptable or not. The answer is clear: they were not acceptable, and Jangra should be dismissed from the BJP.
