Valley based politicians irked by ‘The Kashmir Files’: Bali Bhagat

Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Mar 27: Senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader and former Minister Bali Bhagat while reacting strongly against the insensitive statements issued by the Valley based Kashmiri politicians over ‘The Kashmir Files’ has said that these politicians are now crying hoarse over this film as it has exposed the dubious role they played in facilitating the genocide of Kashmir Pandits in 1989.
In a statement issued to media here today, Bali Bhagat said that these Valley based politicians are irked by ‘The Kashmir Files’. He slammed former Chief Ministers of erstwhile State of Jammu and Kashmir, Farooq Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti of continuing to play divisive politics even on the most sensitive matter involving the miniscule Kashmiri Pandit community the members of which were exiled by the Jehadi elements with tacit support of these leaders and their parties. He said that valley based politicians continue to be highly insensitive towards the plight of KPs despite they having been reduced to mere refugees in their own country.
Condemning the valley politicians for their foul play, the senior BJP leader said that these politicians have not only been wholly and sole responsible for KPs miserable plight but they did nothing for the welfare of the common people of Jammu and Kashmir including the innocent Kashmiris.
He said that the hallmark of these politicians is that they befooled the people of Kashmir for about seven decades by showing them Pakistani rock salt and green handkerchiefs during rallies before the elections to seek votes from the Valley voters.
He asserted that this is the root cause of turmoil in the Valley as a result of which not only ethnic cleansing of KPs took place there but also the local youth who took up the guns against India lost their lives during the turmoil period.
