JAMMU: BJP National General Secretary and party In-Charge of Jammu and Kashmir Tarun Chugh on Friday lashed out at Pakistan, saying Mushaal Hussein Mullick’s appointment as Minister in the neighboring country endorses India’s claim that Pakistan is harbouring terrorism and terrorists.
Chugh said Pakistan has always provided refuge to most wanted terrorists, who are involved in destabilising security and sovereignty of India.
He referred to the appointment of the wife of banned JKLF chief Mohammad Yasin Malik as Minister in Anwar ul Haq led government and said, “Pakistan has once again provided evidence that this country has been established to harbour terrorism and provide refuge to terrorists.
Chugh said that Malik’s wife has been involved in spreading fabricated stories against India and the Army while as her husband, a dreaded terrorist involved in the killing of security forces personnel, Kashmiri Pandits and civilians, is serving life sentence in New Delhi’s Tihar.
“Instead of reining in elements inimical to peace, Pakistan is repeatedly resorting to such actions that harm national interest of India. We urge international bodies to take cognizance of the matter and stop Pakistan from giving political space to terrorists,” Chugh said.
Pertinently Mushal took oath along with 18 members of Pakistan’s interim cabinet. However, due to her dual nationality, Mushal will not be a full-fledged minister but will work as a special advisor on human rights issues to PM Anwar-ul-Haq Kakar, Pakistan media has said.
