After taking out yatra, enjoying ice-cream at Lal Chowk Rahul says there is no peace here: Dr Nirmal
STATE TIMES NEWS
JAMMU: The former Deputy Chief Minister and senior BJP leader, Dr Nirmal Singh, on Thursday launched a frontal attack on the Congress Party and the National Conference (NC) and said that these parties (NC & Congress) are “giving legitimacy” to terrorism and Separatism.
“Congress and NC are giving legitimacy to terrorism and Separatism,” Dr Nirmal said, while addressing a press conference here on Thursday, while adding, “both these parties are trying to create a situation and atmosphere here in J&K which gave rise to terrorism and Separatism”.
Terrorism claimed more than 50,000 lives and NC and Congress are trying to bring back those days again, Dr Singh said.
Both Congress and NC, he said, “talk of bringing back the situation in J&K that was prior to abrogation of Article 370,” and added, “this shows they want to bring back terrorism, Separatism and bloodshed”.
Dr Singh further said, “Prime Minister Narendra Modi abrogated Article 370 after which there is peace here, terrorism has been crushed and there is no stone pelting and Hartals but Congress and NC want situation that was here prior to abrogation of Article 370”. The security forces personnel gave supreme sacrifice for wiping out terrorism and restore peace here in J&K, he said. “Sadly, the Congress calls our jawans as outsiders,” Singh said and added, “Not only our jawans, Congress and NC also call Dogras as outsiders”.
Sheikh Abdullah, in 1946, launched quit Kashmir movement and termed Dogras and Kashmiri Pandits as outsiders. Now, Congress after entering into alliance with NC, is also calling our jawans as outsiders, he said.
“Nyaya Yatra Nikal Kar, Dooru Mein Rally Karke Aur Lal Chowk Mein Ice Cream Kha Kar ( after taking out Nyaya yatra, doing rally in Dooru and after eating ice-cream in Lal Chowk), Rahul Gandhi is saying that there is no peace in Kashmir,” Dr Singh mocked.
Rahul must also clear Congress’ stand on NC manifesto which talks about changing laws and restoration of situation prior to abrogation of Article 370.
Congress has no issue except misleading the people, Dr Singh said and added, “The Prime Minister and the Home Minister have already assured that Statehood of J&K would be restored but Rahul Gandhi is misleading the people over the issue”.
Singh said, “Congress should clear stand on NC’s manifesto mentioning release of terrorists, stone pelters, holding talks with Pakistan and snatching away the rights of Valmikis, Gorkhas, West Pak Refugees and other given to them after revocation of Article 370”.
