JAMMU, Jan 1: Slamming PDP president Mehbooba Mufti for her comments on the Hokersar gunfight that raged on December 30, former Deputy Chief Minister and senior BJP leader Kavinder Gupta today said she has always taken a pro-separatist and pro-terrorists stand.
Pertinent to mention here that Mehbooba early this morning wrote a letter to J&K Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha and urged him to initiate an impartial probe into the encounter. In her letter to Raj Bhavan, she said that such incidents bring disrepute to the armed forces and are a grave violation of human rights.
In a statement issued here today, the former Deputy Chief Minister Kavinder Gupta said that Mehbooba should be the last person to talk about violation of human rights. “A terrorist is a terrorist and he should be dealt strictly as per the law. Mehbooba Mufti should not comment on human rights violation. What about the human rights of armed forces and innocent civilians who are martyred in terrorist attack which take place every other day,” asked Gupta.
Criticizing Mufti, Gupta said that the PDP leader has always taken a pro-terrorists and pro-separatists stand. “If you notice, she has always been vocal for her agenda, which is not in the interest of Nation, and its people. PDP as a political party has lost its relevance in Jammu and Kashmir’s political scenario. Many of its leaders are already in the custody of National Investigation Agency (NIA) in Hawala cases,” the former Deputy Chief Minister said.
The senior BJP leader said that Article 370 has caused “criminal injustice” to the people in Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh. Moreover, he asserted that BJP shall not allow the Abdullah father-son duo and Mehbooba Mufti to carry forward their alleged “anti-national” agenda in the Union Territory.
“Over the past 70 years, Article 370 has done great injustice with Pakistani refugees, Gujjar and Bakerwal communities, Valmiki and Gorkha communities, women and also gave birth to terrorism and separatism in this peaceful land,” the senior BJP leader said. He alleged that the Abdullahs and Mufti are conspiring to “bleed Kashmir’ once again but nobody will be allowed to cause harm to the law and order situation in the Valley.
