JAMMU, Apr 28: Lambasting the National Conference (NC) leaders, BJP State spokesperson, Brig (retd) Anil Gupta today said the father- son duo is busy in criticising his Party in their pursuit of reviving the electoral fortunes of N C, the party which was once the strongest political force in the State but is in a state of decline currently,.
In a statement issued here, today he said Omar Abdullah’s statement that “RSS-BJP is a bigger threat to J&K than Pakistan” is not only illogical but weird. There is no comparison between the two, he added.
He said while BJP represents the voice of the people of the State, Pakistan is responsible not only for unleashing a proxy war in the state but also has subjugated the voice of the people of PoJK & Gilgit-Baltistan by engineering large scale demographic changes, allowing free access to China and by denying basic necessities like water and electricity to the residents of these areas, claimed Brig Gupta.
He said Omar Abdullah is unhappy because BJP is for abolition of Article 370, but he is perfectly comfortable with Pakistan.
In any case Abdullahs who represent a party that has lost its political footing in both Jammu & Ladakh regions and are now struggling for political space in Kashmir, reducing their party to a sub-regional party, have no right to speak on behalf of the people of the State. For the people of Jammu & Ladakh and a silent majority in Kashmir, saving Article 370 is a non-issue and they want its early abrogation so that they can benefit from the economic boom in India, world’s fastest growing economy, stated Brig Gupta.Their only hope lies in BJP, he added.
Commenting on statement of NC president, Dr Farooq Abdullah who has alleged that, “PM has failed to embalm people of J&K”, the allegation is far from reality. The reality is that vast majority of the people of J&K are happy and with the Prime Minister as far as SF led ‘Operation All Out’ and ED & NIA led operations against over ground terror support network and terror funding are concerned, stated Brig Gupta.
Reacting to another remark of Dr Abdullah, that, “BJP failed to carry forward the legacy of Vajpayee during its stint in power,” Brig Gupta blamed the Abdullahs and other mainstream parties for the murder of “Insaniyat and Kashmiriyat” in the Valley.
