JAMMU, Sept 9: Taking a strong exception to the statement of NC president, Dr Farooq Abdullah, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokesperson, Brig. Veteran Anil Gupta today accused him of misleading the people by withholding facts and truth.
Commenting on yesterday’s statement of Dr Abdullah, Brig Gupta said he accused BJP of playing divisive politics while giving clean chit to his party. Brig Gupta said the growing public resentment against the Abdullah dynasty and the seething anger among the youth who consider them the root cause of all that ails the Valley today should have prepared the Abdullahs to face the mirror but obviously they are not prepared for the same and think that they can win back the lost turf by BJP bashing asserted Brig Gupta who further said, “Truth is bitter to digest.”
“Despite their tall claims of Hindu, Muslim, Sikh Itihaad, can NC deny the that the ideology of the party throughout has been “exclusivity” and “intolerance”? The seed of communalism sowed by Abdul Qadir was carried forward by the Sheikh in the form of Quit Kashmir movement, a purely communal movement aimed at throwing out the Hindu -Dogra ruler,” asserted Brig Gupta.
NC heralded the era of divisive politics by implementing its policy of “land to the tillers” hailed as a revolutionary reform but aimed to benefit only a particular community. Can Farooq Abdullah explain as to why orchards were kept away from the purview of this Act? So much so that in order to ensure that the discriminatory Act cannot be challenged, the people of J&K were denied Fundamental Rights rued Brig Gupta. Wasn’t the subsequent arbitrary delimitation of Assembly seats not an act of divisive politics?
How can Farooq condone himself of the atrocities and miseries committed on the Kashmiri Pandit community under his watch when the streets and mosques in Kashmir were reverberating with slogans baying for the blood of minority Hindus which ultimately led to their exodus questioned Brig Gupta? NC and Farooq Abdullah claim to be nationalists and take umbrage when referred as pro-separatists but did not take any action against their then MLA who shouted “Pakistan Zindabad” on the floor of the Assembly. Has Farooq forgotten his statement of 5 December 2016 when he openly pledged support to the Hurriyat?
“Even Omar followed the suit as his tweets of “Islamophobia” made his intentions clear”. His latest article blaming the Government for not appointing even a single Muslim in top hierarchy is nothing but a dirty attempt to rouse communal passions, stated Brig Gupta.
