STATE TIMES NEWS
JAMMU: Former Union Minister and BJP’s star campaigner, Anurag Thakur, on Saturday said that the agenda of NC-Cong, PDP and Pakistan is same and they all want death, destruction and unrest in Jammu and Kashmir but the BJP will not allow that at any cost.
“NC-Cong, PDP and Pakistan are on same page and have only one agenda of reviving militancy in Kashmir,” Thakur said, while addressing a public rally at Reasi in favor of BJP candidate Rakesh Dubey.
He said NC-Cong, PDP and Pakistan want death and destruction in J&K and stall development works started by PM Modi, adding that these parties never thought of common people of J&K but only cared for their families.
“PM Modi by abrogating Article 370, freed J&K from the clutches of terrorism and established peace here”, he said, adding, “Now, record number of tourists are visiting J&K and people are now living a dignified life and earning their livelihood”.
Thakur said that NC-Cong and PDP want to bring back Article 370 and are promising to release jailed terrorists and stone pelters. “It shows their intent that they want to revive militancy and push J&K back into the era of militancy and unrest”, he said, adding that the NC-Cong are not the well wishers of people of J&K. Thakur also slammed Rahul Gandhi for insulting Sikhs on foreign soil. “In the past 10 years, have you been barred from wearing turban, have you been barred from wearing Kada, have you been barred from going to Gurudwara?” Thakur asked people of the Sikh community.
He said, Rahul Gandhi has insulted Sikh Community. “Cong Party is responsible for 84 Sikh riots,” Thakur said, while adding, “Many senior leaders of Cong namely Jagdish Tytler, Sajjan Kumar and others were involved in anti-Sikh riots”.
Cong owes an apology to the nation, he said, and urged the people to reject NC-Cong in these elections.
