JAMMU, Mar 14: Former Minister and senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader, Bali Bhagat has strongly castigated former CM and senior National Conference (NC) leader, Dr. Farooq Abdullah for trying to mislead the people of Jammu region by issuing unwarranted statements based upon surmises and conjunctures and far from reality.
Bali Bhagat, while reacting to the statement of Dr Farooq Abdullah given in Samba yesterday, said that it is really an irony that Farooq Abdullah having lost the political space in the Valley has now stooped so low that in utter desperation he is leaving no stone unturned in making attempts unabated to vitiate the peaceful atmosphere of Jammu region.
The former Minister said what an irony that a person claiming to be head of the secular party labels Indians in J&K as outsiders. He asserted that if anybody comes from any part of the nation it would be gross injustice to call such person an outsider. He said that the nation called India is one and anyone living in any part of the nation and moving to any other part of the nation for doing business or any other legal activity has the fundamental right to do so. He said that no authority whosoever can stop him from enjoying this right.
Terming the statement of Dr Farooq as divisive politics, the senior BJP leader said that NC leader is creating problem for all such residents of J&K who are working outside the Union Territory in other parts of the nation.
Bali Bhagat said that outsiders are in fact anti-India elements from Pakistan who had been receiving the patronage of anti nationalists. He added that outsiders would fit aptly with the Bangladeshi and Myanmar people brought under a well knit conspiracy to settle in Jammu by the erstwhile regimes in the erstwhile State of J&K including his Government.
The senior BJP leader asserted that his party is people’s party in letter and spirit and this has been proved by the BJP’s victory in four states in the recently held polls. He exuded confidence that the victory story will be written in Jammu and Kashmir too in the forthcoming Assembly polls in Jammu and Kashmir.
