Talking to reporters here this morning, Anurag said Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will never allow the leaders of two parties to succeed in their vicious designs.
“During the rule of these families, Jammu & Kashmir became synonymous with conflict, terrorism and instability. “But today, we are living in a Jammu & Kashmir that is progressing on the path of peace, development, and prosperity. This story of transformation is not just a result of political change, but of the determination and dedication of Prime Minister Narendra Modi towards the people of Kashmir, which has brought Jammu & Kashmir to this point,” he added.
“PM Modi’s commitment to stand with the people of this region at every step is well-known. Under his leadership, Kashmir has found a new direction. But now, the Gandhi-Abdullah families are saying they will repeal the Public Safety Act (PSA) in Jammu & Kashmir. They want to release prisoners, separatists, and terrorists from jails. They want to strip the people of Jammu & Kashmir of their rights”.
Thakur warned that BJP will not let this happen! The Modi Government has consistently worked against terrorism and separatism, he added. “Why do they want to release enemies of the country who are locked in jail? Why do they want to disturb the peaceful Jammu & Kashmir again? Why do the Gandhi-Abdullah families have so much sympathy for drug traffickers, terrorists and stone-pelters?” he asked.
Thakur further said, “The three families who deprived Jammu & Kashmir of its rights and acquired luxuries for themselves, it’s time that their candidates will certainly lose in elections for the misdeeds. Omar Abdullah, who previously said he wouldn’t contest the elections, is now contesting from two constituencies, and in both places, his condition is really weak”, he added.
He said by revoking Article 370, the BJP has provided relief to the people of Jammu & Kashmir. “After the abrogation of Article 370, Valmiki communities, Gurkhas, refugees from West Pakistan and Gujjar-Bakarwal communities have gained rights and reservation benefits. The National Conference, Congress and PDP want to snatch these rights from these communities and the agenda of the National Conference, Congress, and PDP is the same,” he added.
The former Union Minister said, “Even after 60 years of Congress rule in the country, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi never came to play in the snow of Kashmir. It was only after Prime Minister Narendra Modi abrogated Article 370 that the Gandhi family is able to enjoy holidays in the Valley. And now, the Congress, National Conference and PDP want to reinstate Article 370 and push Jammu & Kashmir back into the fire of anarchy, terrorism, and separatism”, he added.
He said Jammu & Kashmir has suffered for decades due to the mistakes of the Gandhi-Abdullah families; many families were devastated, numerous soldiers martyred, and the region fell behind in economic development. Under the leadership of PM Modi, Jammu & Kashmir has now witnessed development and peace and hence, will no longer fall for the false promises of the Gandhi-Abdullah families, he added.
Exuding confidence Thakur said BJP will form the Government in J&K once again as people of the UT have seen through the game plan of the dynastic parties who exploited them for decades together for their vested political interests.
