Omar misusing Assembly floor, airing anti-India views: Jugal

Excelsior Correspondent JAMMU, Aug 26: Charging the State Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah with indulging in airing pro-Pakistan and anti-India views, BJP State President & MP Jugal Kishore Sharma said that whatever has been uttered by Mr Abdullah indicates his soft approach towards the separatists and other outfits which have been working to provoke the people on one pretext or the other to continue their propaganda against India. Jugal Kishore Sharma, who along with State Election Campaign Committee Chairman & National Executive Member Dr. Nirmal Singh, flagged off Party's "Parivartan Yatra" from Gharkhal in Akhnoor Assembly Constituency and Pargwal in Khour Assembly Constituency, Ghura Manhasa, Ambara, Ghura Talab, Sanail, Balgara, Tayian, Mehra Mandira  aimed at reaching every nook and corner of the State to further mobilize public opinion against the wrong doings of the NC-Congress coalition and achieving mission 44+ in the upcoming Assembly elections, took the Chief Minister to task for misusing the floor of the State Assembly to make inflammatory speech to escape the wrath of thousands of border people who have been forced to migrate due to unprovoked firing from across the border. Sharma said that it is most unfortunate that Omar Abdullah has been stressing on resumption of talks with rogue Pakistan ignoring the fact that it has been bleeding the country by a thousand-cut on daily basis by violating cease-fire. Omar Abdullah, instead of paying even a cursory visit to the affected villages and the camps in R.S. Pura and other sectors, is accusing BJP National President Amit Shah of polarizing the society, which is nothing but a desperate attempt to arouse passions in the valley, he added. Making an appeal to the people of the state to defeat NC, Congress and PDP, Sharma said that the time has come when a change in Jammu and Kashmir has become all the more necessary to mitigate the sufferings of the people and neutralizing the fissiparous tendencies. Dr. Nirmal Singh, while condemning the unprovoked firing on innocent civilians, including women, children and aged people, said that firing on daily basis has once again vindicated the oft-repeated stand of the BJP that Pakistan is an irresponsible State and cannot be trusted despite agreements and promises. The entire world has seen that during the past few days Pakistan has indulged in intensifying firing which has resulted in displacement of hundreds of families besides injuring and killings of jawans and civilians, loss of life stock and damage to standing crops and houses, he added.
