JAMMU, Feb 14: The Congress Party in Jammu and Kashmir, having exhausted its political relevance and constructive agenda, is now resorting to divisive politics by attempting to create rifts along regional, caste, and religious lines.
Its chief, Tariq Hameed Karra, has falsely accused the BJP of disrespecting Dogra rulers and undermining the legacy of the 175-year-old Dogra dynasty by downgrading Jammu and Kashmir from State to a Union Territory.
Countering these misleading claims, BJP executive member Raman Suri emphasized that such allegations hold no ground, especially when Prime Minister Narendra Modi has repeatedly assured that Jammu and Kashmir will regain Statehood at an appropriate time. He dismissed Congress’s rhetoric as nothing more than an attempt to mislead people and create unnecessary fear.
“Congress has lost its credibility in Jammu and Kashmir. Now, in sheer desperation, it is trying to manipulate people’s sentiments by distorting facts,” Suri stated.
He further pointed out that the Congress, having realized that PM Modi’s decisions are widely accepted and in the larger interest of the nation and Jammu and Kashmir in particular, is now resorting to fear-mongering. However, the people of the region fully understand that Statehood will be restored only through the Union Government’s decision at an appropriate time and not through Congress’s hollow slogans.
Suri ridiculed the Congress’s theatrics, stating that its attempts to politicize Statehood have failed miserably, with no takers for its deceptive narratives. He attributed the party’s continuous electoral failures, including its complete wipeout in Delhi, to its outdated and illogical political strategies.
