Jitendra slams NC, Cong for demanding restoration of J-K’s special status
JAMMU: A day after leaders of People’s Alliance for Gupkar Declaration accused the BJP of making Jammu and Kashmir free for all by bringing in the new land laws, the BJP on Saturday said that people’s right to sell properties and houses haven’t been usurped by anyone.
“Whoever says J&K is on sale, you should tell him that the sale of J&K will start with Gupkar bungalows. The law doesn’t allow occupying a bungalow forcibly. The owners still enjoy the right to decide whether to sell it or not. The day the order to occupy houses comes, beautiful houses along Dal Lake will be occupied,” Union minister Jitendra Singh said.
Singh was addressing a press conference in Jammu along with the BJP general secretary Tarun Chug and BJP president for Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, Ravinder Raina.
Union Minister Jitendra Singh on hit out at the NC and the Congress for demanding that the special status of the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir be restored, saying their leaders should quit as Members of Parliament if they do not approve of it having passed the Bill to abrogate Article 370.
Singh, who is the Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s Office, also called upon the BJP workers in the Union Territory to set their own narrative and not become defensive before the opposition parties. (Agency)
