JAMMU, Oct 24: Senior BJP leader and former Deputy Chief Minister, Kavinder Gupta today strongly criticized PDP leader Mehbooba Mufti for her recent remarks advocating talks with Pakistan and termed them as “irresponsible” and “misleading.”
Speaking to the media persons, Kavinder stated that such statements only serve to demoralize the nation and embolden elements trying to disrupt peace in Jammu and Kashmir.
He said, “India, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, has adopted a firm stance against terrorism and its perpetrators. The Central Government has repeatedly shown its resolve to combat terrorism with an iron hand and any attempt to weaken this resolve by promoting dialogue with a nation that harbors terrorists is unacceptable.”
“The security forces are well-equipped and capable of dealing with any threat. Pakistan has been exposed on multiple occasions for its role in fostering terrorism and talking with them under the current circumstances would mean legitimizing their hostile actions,” he said and urged political leaders to exercise restraint and avoid issuing statements that can create confusion or provoke sentiments amid the sensitive situation.
“Instead of playing into the hands of adversaries, we should all stand united against terrorism. There is no place for divisive rhetoric in this fight for national security,” he added.
