Kashmir situation outcome of Cong misrule: Jitendra Singh

JAMMU: Union Minister and senior BJP leader Jitendra Singh today said the absence of peace in the Valley was a “cumulative outcome” of nearly half a century of “misrule” of the Congress.

He also lashed out at Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi for claiming that Prime Minister Narendra Modi “destroyed” the People’s Democratic Party by making an alliance with it.

“Whatever he (Rahul Gandhi) has said doesn’t reflect the popular sentiments of the people of Jammu and Kashmir or people of India at large. In fact, it’s the Congress which has been over the years making opportunistic alliances alternately with one or the other regional party in Kashmir,” he added.

Singh said the BJP-led Governments at the Centre and in the State has taken up the “herculean task” of restoring normalcy in the State. (AGENCIES)
