JAMMU, Oct 23: Senior BJP leader and former Minister, Priya Sethi today slammed the former Chief Minister of J&K and NC president, Dr Farooq Abdullah for giving sermons on divisive politics and dismantling walls of hatred.
In a statement issued here, today, Priya Sethi said “It is a ‘tragedy’ that after sowing the seeds of hatred and divisive politics from decades and propagating the same Farooq Abdullah is once again trying to befool the people of Jammu by giving sermons on dismantling walls of hatred.
She added that people of Jammu have now understood his communal politics fully.
Former Minister added that Dr Abdullah was CM when there was a forced exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from Valley and he is responsible for forced exodus of around seven lakh KPs from the Valley of Kashmir.
This forced exodus took place when he was the Chief Minister of the erstwhile State in 1989-90, she added.
Priya said that she is shocked that instead of welcoming return of KPs to Valley, Dr Abdullah has said that their return was not possible till conducive atmosphere prevails in Valley.
“It has shocked the nation today as it seemed that even after 30 years of forced exodus of Pandits, the people like Dr Abdullah are not interested in return of KPs to Valley’’.
Priya, who is the special invite to NWC of BJP said that leaders like Dr Abdullah had contributed a lot in spoiling the image of country in the past too. She said that NC patriarch who is desperately longing for a political refuge today once used to dance on the tunes of the Pakistan .
She said that it was Farooq Abdullah, under whose regime Kashmir witnessed threats, rapes, selective killings, exodus of KPs and when the entire Valley was burning he left the place and flew to London, letting down the Kashmiris.
Ridiculing Abdullah’s fake concern over identity of Jammu, she said that the three generations of NC were responsible for separatism and communal hatred among the people instead of binding the people of two regions.
Priya said that the way the BJP Government at the Centre under the leadership of Narendra Modi has propelled the development in the UT and soon there will be no takers for Pakistan’s narrative on Kashmir as the people are happy and pleased with the progress which the UT has been witnessing after removal of Article 370.
