JAMMU, Mar 1: Hitting back at Farooq Abdullah over his veiled attack on BJP terming its leadership as divisive forces, senior BJP leader and former Deputy Chief Minister, Kavinder Gupta on Monday maintained that playing divisive politics is the trademark of National Conference (NC) as it has attained expertise in this field.
In a statement issued here, today senior BJP functionary said that tagging BJP as divisive is an age old tantrum of NC chief to hide his party’s misdoings by ‘virtue’ of which J&K has been ruined today. He termed the aforesaid allegation leveled by Farooq Abdullah while giving sermons to disgruntled Congress leaders as ‘baseless and concocted’.
The senior BJP leader claimed that it’s not his party but NC and its ilk which brazenly played communal card and missed no chance to divide people of erstwhile State of J&K as and when they got an opportunity to hoodwink masses. He said that it is NC which is proficient in politics of deceit, deception and division and BJP on the other hand believes in Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas and Sabka Vishwas also. He accused Farooq of being ‘opportunist’, who is trying to revive NC’s scope of remaining relevant in UT politics for some more time by concocting stories which have no basis at all.
“Whatever is NC’s plan for survival, one thing is sure that there is no power on earth which can save it as this party has committed unpardonable ‘sins’ by means of propagating anti-national agenda at various points of time and through blackmailing successive Central dispensations only to satiate its vested interests”, Kavinder said adding that it is due to Farooq’s misdemeanor that Valley saw tumultuous times and Kashmiri Hindus were made refugees in their very own country.
“Allowing all this to happen is divisive politics”, he said, adding that bringing back misguided Kashmiris to mainstream by restoring peace and opening up vistas of opportunities which BJP is doing with utmost sincerity is something for which Dr Sahib has no words in his dictionary.
