JAMMU, Apr 25: Making a scathing attack on PDP chief and former Chief Minister, Mehbooba Mufti, Brig (retd) Anil Gupta, State spokesperson of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) today said that the low voter turnout in her perceived bastion in phase one of the Anantnag Parliamentary Constituency has rattled her so much that she has upped the ante as far as her anti-India tirade and pro-separatist agenda are concerned.
Brig Gupta in a statement issued here, today warned Mehbooba Mufti that in her quest to generate a sympathy wave, she continues to boast about her defiance of the instructions and advisories issued to her Government by the Central Government. These statements are of confession of her betrayal to the highest Constitutional post while in occupation of which she was working against the national interest.
She also continues to emotionally exploit the local Kashmiris through half-baked truth and spin-doctored statements. Knowing fully well the difference between international trade carried out at Wagah and barter trade across the LoC carried out at the two trade facilitation centres, one each in Jammu & Kashmir regions. She continues to mislead the Kashmiris through here statements like “if trade via Wagah can continue, why not the cross-LoC trade?”
Brig Gupta said since majority of the rural population in Kashmir does not know the difference between the two types of trade they get emotionally swayed and get carried away by her anti-India propaganda that “Central Government wants to subjugate the Kashmiris and squeeze them economically” this is farther from truth, rued Brig Gupta.
“The recent revelation of how the cross-LoC trade was being manipulated by the ISI through Pak based Kashmiri terrorists belonging to Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) is an eye-opener and should enlighten the Kashmiris about the false and malicious propaganda being carried out by Mehbooba just for the sake of votes so that she can remain relevant in the corridors of power. “I appeal to our brethren in Kashmir to not to get swayed by the motivated and false propaganda unleashed by her,” stated Brig Gupta.
