In a statement, BJP Chief Spokesperson Sunil Sethi, said that Rahul Gandhi should have tried to understand the mode and manner of bringing in of Art 370 and Art 35 A in the Constitution of India and their impact on J&K in particular and India in general before venturing to make statements on the issue .
He said that both these Articles were harbinger of separatism and hatred and were major blockage in progress and development of J&K besides being responsible for killings of thousands of innocent persons . “These Articles had sown seeds of separatism which led to terrorism and militancy because of which major portion of population in Kashmir were rendered homeless and had to migrate. It was root cause of spreading terror throughout country,” he said, adding that it was historical decision of Indian Parliament and Central Govt to rectify the biggest political blunder of Independent India .
Sunil Sethi also criticized the statement of Rahul Gandhi of leveling allegation of Jammu and Kashmir being ruled by bureaucrats from UP and Gujarat. “It is unfortunate that a person who had been till recently Member Parliament from UP and whose mother still is holding that position has recklessly made statements to create hatred for people of UP and Gujarat in the mind of people of Jammu and Kashmir,” he said.
