PDP-BJP alliance unholy: Khajuria

Excelsior Correspondent

JAMMU, Aug 5: A BJP legislator today termed his party’s alliance with PDP “unhealthy” and said it will “spoil the health of the nationalist people” in Jammu and Kashmir.
Ashok Khajuria, a former State president of Bharatiya Janata Party, also took a dig at the controversial remarks made by “the people in the seat of power” after the killing of Hizbul militant Burhan Wani on July 8 by security forces.
“I have been saying from the beginning it is an unholy alliance (between BJP and PDP),” he told reporters here.
Khajuria, a Member of Legislative Council (MLC), claimed that BJP will face a “huge loss” due to the alliance.
“An unholy alliance can still be run, but if we talk of running an unhealthy alliance, it will spoil the health of nationalist people in the State and BJP will face huge loss,” he claimed.
Attacking those who termed Wani’s killing an “accident” and had said that had the State Government known of Wani’s presence at the scene of the operation by security forces he might have got a second chance, the BJP legislator said, “We will talk about things which will be good for Jammu and Kashmir and the Indian nation”.
“We will not talk about the remarks of certain people in the seat of power who will tell us that Wani’s killing was an accident and if we knew it prior to the encounter we had been saved and given another chance. For what should have Wani been saved. For what?”, he asked.
“Whatever remarks you will make for saving your chair and whosoever has said so whether it belongs to our party or our coalition partner, we do not accept it,” he said.
