Srinagar, June 2: CPI (M) State Secretary, Mohammad Yousuf Tarigami today said that the BJP is propagating the vindictive agenda of RSS since it formed Government at the Centre.
Tarigami said the BJP is trying for trifurcation of the State besides attempting to change its demography, which is against the interests of the State.
“Talks of making Jammu a separate State and granting Union Territory status to Ladakh is part of the same plan” Tarigami told reporters here. He, however, strongly reiterated that “Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh have remained a plural society and it can’t be bifurcated or trifurcated.”
Tarigami also criticized, Narendra Modi, led BJP Government for raking up the controversial issue of Article 370 and called it an RSS agenda.
The CPI (M) leader also blamed the previous Central Governments since independence for weakening the Article 370. “Article 370 at present is a namesake because of various presidential ordinances that were issued from time to time.
Expressing hope that there is sufficient ground in the country to prevent the present regime from alienating the masses of Valley, the South Kashmir legislator alleged that the present regime is being led and dictated by RSS which has again led to the apprehensions among the people of the Valley. “This Government needs to be reined in,” he stressed.
Tarigami castigated the Minority Affairs Minister, Najma Heptullah for her comments regarding Muslims that they are not minority in India.
“I advise her to analyze the Sachar committee report which has clearly highlighted the miserable plight of Muslims, reporting that Muslims are lagging behind certain OBC, ST/SC and other recognized groups from developmental perspective,” he said.
