SRINAGAR, Apr 4: PDP today urged people to unanimously defeat the BJP’s game plan in Jammu and Kashmir, which is to keep the Kashmir pot boiling so that it can consolidate Hindu votes on the blood of Kashmiris and win elections.
Interacting with party supporters, workers and activists in Central Kashmir’s Beerwah constituency, senior PDP leader and former Minister Naeem Akhtar said victory of PDP’s candidate for Srinagar Parliamentary seat, Agha Syed Mohsin will be a defeat of the divide and rule policy of BJP.
Flanked by senior party leaders including Nazir Ahmad Khan, Akhtar said that the BJP-RSS ideologue Subramanium Swami in one of his interviews has openlyexpressed that BJP’s strategy is to unite Hindus and divide Muslims so that it could again come to power. Akhtar said that the people of Jammu and Kashmir have to answer to Swami’s such assertions and reveal it to him that they will not fall into the trap of dividing residents of Jammu and Kashmir into Paharis, Gujjar Bakerwal, Shia, Sunni and Barelvis.
Terming present time as a defining movement for the future discourse of history, Akhtar said, “We must rise above these considerations and vote for such candidates who would defeat BJP designs and who would stand by as Mehbooba Mufti stood by her commitment to repealing AFSPA, safeguarding Article 35-A, punishing culprits of Rasana, making the Central Government declare unilateral ceasefire and withdrawing more than 12 thousand FIRs of youth,” said Akhtar.
The PDP leader added that the ample proof of how Mehbooba Mufti stood firm in her resolve of not to allow BJP to implement its agenda in J&K is the recent statement of Amit Shah, who clearly mentioned that scraping 35-A was among the BJP’s core agendas but the party couldn’t get through due to its alliance with the PDP and Mehbooba Mufti’s stern opposition.
Akhtar said that the PDP Government would have continued for six years if Mehbooba Mufti had not strongly defended the interests of the State and resisted the imposition of ban on Jamaate-e-Islami, JKLF and other religious organizations. “If she had signed on dotted line like in the case of Afzal Guru, the PDP Government wouldn’t have been toppled by the BJP,” Akhtar said.
Akhtar urged people to overwhelmingly vote for Agha Syed Mohsin during the coming Parliament polls as victory of Agha Mohsin will be defeat of BJP- RSS designs.
