JAMMU: Union Minister Jitendra Singh Saturday took a dig at the PDP and the National Conference for raising the demand for separate administrative divisions for Pir Panjal and Chenab Valley, saying the parties were desperate to “introduce poison” of divisiveness based on religion in the peaceful region.
Politics in the name of religion is going to cause more harm not only to the state but also to these parties, he said.
“Let us not forget that the decision to carve out a division for the region was based on certain academic logic. It is based on very firm reasons of logistics, geographical realities and it is not motivated by any politics,” he said.
