JAMMU, Aug 30: National general secretary of the BJP and J&K Prabhari, Tarun Chugh today urged the people of Jammu and Kashmir to defeat what he described as the nefarious designs of the NC-Congress alliance. He warned that these political groups intend to push the State back into the violence and bloodshed reminiscent of the 1990s.
The people of Jammu and Kashmir suffered greatly during that period because of the failures and wrongs committed by politicians from these parties, Chugh said while addressing the workers of Jammu West here, today held in support of BJP candidate Arvind Gupta.
The senior BJP leaders including Sat Sharma, former Minister and J&K BJP chief, Rajeev Charak, the Prabhari of the constituency, and Ranjodh Singh Nalwa, president of the Minority Morcha. Besides, Mandal presidents Atul Bakshi and Kishore Chopra were also present. Chugh rallied party workers, emphasizing the importance of preventing the return of the era of turmoil and violence in Jammu and Kashmir.
Citing a recent statement by NC MP Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi, Chug expressed concern that Mehdi had implied a return to the violence and exodus of Kashmiri Pandits seen in the 1990s. He warned that the alliance of Congress, NC, and PDP is driven by a desire to create chaos and anarchy in the region. He accused former Chief Minister, Dr. Farooq Abdullah and his NC party of pushing for the return of Article 370 and seeking dialogue with Pakistan to discuss autonomy for the State, an agenda that he claims is dangerous for the stability of J&K.
Pt. Prem Nath Dogra, a stalwart of the Praja Parishad and later BJP, had fought against such designs, said Chug. He reminded party workers of Dogra’s opposition to Sheikh Abdullah, who, according to him, had conspired with then Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru to betray the people of Jammu and Kashmir. Chug said that this cycle of betrayal is now being repeated by the current NC-Congress alliance led by Omar Abdullah and Rahul Gandhi.
Chug also criticized the manifestos of the PDP, Congress, and NC, accusing them of showing more loyalty to Pakistan than India. He raised alarm over their alleged plan to release convicted militants like Yasin Malik, who he says admitted to killing naval officers and civilians. Chug called on the public to question these political groups for aligning with militants and pushing a divisive agenda.
