RAJOURI, Apr 8: While addressing a series of election meetings at Palma, Mandir Gala, Bakori, Morha Draj and Budhal areas of the district Rajouri, former IGP and BJP leader Farooq Khan accused the Congress Party of the miserable plight of the Muslims in the country.
Mr Khan who has recently joined the BJP is campaigning for the BJP in Muslim dominated areas of district Rajouri and Poonch.
Lashing out at Congress, Khan said that during the Congress rule, Muslims in India including Jammu and Kashmir were the worst sufferers as the Congress under the cover of so-called secularism, exploited their sentiments by creating fear-psychosis of BJP to pool votes.
He said Congress has taken the Muslims for granted and did nothing for their betterment.
Targeting the Congress, Khan said that the country is not in the safe hands as the party is dividing the society on communal lines to get votes.
“We cannot put our country into crisis by supporting the Congress Party anymore. People of our country have sacrificed a lot for the nation, but Congress have no respect for the great martyrs of this country,” Mr Khan said.
He said the heads of our soldiers were chopped off by Pakistan but Congress led UPA remained a mute spectator and did nothing in reaction.
He asked the Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to come up with his performance and not create vicious atmosphere by leveling the false charges against BJP’s Prime Ministerial candidate and urged upon the youth to support BJP to fulfill the dreams of former Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee.
Senior BJP leader Kuldeep Raj Gupta; BJP State vice president, Vibodh Gupta; BJYM State president, Ravinder Raina; Budhal Mandal president Ramesh Kumar; Dev Raj, Mustaq Rajdaan and Ashish Sareen were prominent among others present in the election rallies.
