JAMMU, June 25: Mehbooba Mufti’s new-found love for the Indian Constitution is born out of the political compulsion to remain relevant rather than any change of heart. “Mehbooba who is known for having stated that there would be none to lift Tiranga in Kashmir if Article 370 is abrogated and even now insists that she would not contest elections until the Constitution and Flag of Jammu & Kashmir is restored and terms abrogation of 370 as an attack on the idea of India, needs to clarify which idea of India is she referring to”, questioned Brig Anil Gupta, Spokesperson of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
In a statement issued here, today he said, a profound advocate of separatism, terrorism, radicalization, regional and religious discrimination and staunch opponent of one Constitution, one Flag, one India and strong India is apprehensive of the fear of “Kashmirisation” of the entire country if BJP returned to power in 2024. From her rhetoric it is evident that her idea of India is nothing but “revenge politics” to avenge the withdrawal of support to her Government by the BJP in June 2018, stated Brig Gupta.
Their idea of India revolves around the chair and has no relevance to more important national values of unity, equality and Sarv Dharam Sambhav, retorted Brig Gupta.
He said after August 5-2019, the BJP Government at the Centre which believes in Sarv Dharam Smabhav has become an anathema for the entire Gupkar Gang including Congress which has a skewed vision as far as secularism is concerned. It is the same Gupkar Gang which still talks of greater autonomy and self-rule and return to 370 and 35A regime, in other words they want a dispensation in JK which is against the soul and spirit of the Indian Constitution and outside the Constitutional framework. “Her love for Pakistan flows from the self-rule doctrine wherein her party wanted Pakistan to share equal sovereign powers with India in J&K,. This is her idea of India, a blueprint for balkanization of India. What is worrying is that having lost people’s confidence in J&K, she is being provided national platform by the desperate opposition to spread this venom lamented Brig Gupta.
