JAMMU, Aug 18: Senior BJP leader, Devender Singh Rana today lashed out at Pakistan and some Kashmiri leaders who were trying to sabotage peaceful atmosphere of Kashmir by sending a misleading message across the country on normalcy in the Valley.
He said that Pakistan’s latest move to appoint Mishaal Hussain Malik as Human Rights Minister was hailed by certain Kashmiri leaders which is an indication to slate the Kashmir sabotage plan across.
“But they forget that New Delhi now is a New Delhi of New India which will not only fail all their attempts but will teach them a lesson on their soil if need arises,” Rana said.
“Their politics over the last seven decades has thrived on conflict, disorder and mayhem,” he maintained while interacting with deputations during weekly public hearing programme at BJP headquarters here, along with Veenu Khanna, BJP State secretary and Danish Mishra, vice president, BJP Yuva Morcha.
Rana also said that transformed Kashmir has instilled new life, new hope for Kashmiris and has cast a spell of doom on certain political players of J&K and their patrons across the border.
“1.80 crore tourists have visited J&K last year and two crore are expected this year in the aftermath of normalcy,” Rana continued.
“The Valley based so-called mainstream political class has a vested interest in boiling Kashmir to remain glued to power. On one side they were assuring Delhi power corridors about working towards ending unrest in the valley and on the other hand they were exploiting religious and separatist sentiments back home,” the BJP leader said adding that the double edged weapon served their political interests well till the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019, which ended their political hegemony, deceit and duplicity.
“By playing double game, the politicians like Mehbooba Mufti and others have neither done any good to the people of Kashmir nor to New Delhi, which sincerely endeavoured for peace, progress and development of J&K”, Rana further said.
