Khatana slams Omar’s remarks on Muslim representation in Govt

Excelsior Correspondent

JAMMU, Sept 21: Reacting to former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah’s statement that the Central Government has not even a single minister in the council of Ministers, senior BJP leader and Rajya Sabha MP Er Gulam Ali Khatana today countered the claim, highlighting the welfare initiatives of the Modi Government.
Khatana stated that these initiatives have created panic among dynasts like the Abdullahs and Gandhis, who, according to him, marginalized the Muslim community for decades through vote bank politics.
“The stark reality is that Abdullahs and Gandhis have marginalized Muslims across the country,” Khatana said, accusing the NC-Congress alliance of creating Line of Control (LoC) and initiating unilateral ceasefire agreements with Pakistan for political gain. He further criticized the sudden concern for Muslims during election period, claiming that for 70 years, these political families neglected the plight of the community.
Khatana emphasized that the BJP has been working for the empowerment of all citizens without discrimination, and such statements from opposition leaders hold no relevance. “The people of Jammu and Kashmir are well aware of what the Gandhis and Abdullahs have done to Muslims. Today, Muslims in the country are happy, and you people have lost your relevance,” he added.
