SRINAGAR: BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh on Friday launched a scathing attack on National Conference’s Abdullahs, PDP’s Mufti, Congress’s Gandhi Nehru family, and Engineer Rashid, accusing them of conspiring against Jammu and Kashmir’s development, peace, and progress.
“They all are hand in glove with disruptive and separatist forces, out to promote terrorism in J&K”, said Chugh, asking Farooq Abdullah how come he was holidaying in England when jammu Kashmir was burning.
Addressing the media, Chugh said that these leaders are working together to create a big divide in J&K and to spread violence to suit the interests of forces across the border.
“They have been fostering terrorism in J&K”., Chugh said while explaining the BJP’s zero tolerance policy against terrorism, stating that his party was committed to peace in Jammu and Kashmir. “These leaders have never allowed the J&K to develop and prosper. Even the legacies of Gandhi and Nehru have contributed to this ongoing turmoil. The mistakes of the past should not be repeated. We are determined to correct these historical errors and bring Jammu and Kashmir into a new era of peace and prosperity,” said Chugh
Chugh said it is the policies of Prime Minister Narendra Modi that have brought about a big transformation in J&K. The youth are seeing a new hope while there has been phenomenal growth in business and trade. Under his vision, J&K has achieved peace and development, he added.
He highlighted various initiatives like medical insurance worth Rs. 7 lakh for every citizen, pensions for sisters and elder daughters-in-law, and development projects.
Regarding Engineer Rashid’s release from jail, Chugh said that people who are accused of terror funding will not be tolerated, and the judiciary’s bail is not a release but a temporary reprieve.
Chugh emphasized that PM Modi has a clear vision of “everyone’s support, everyone’s development, everyone’s faith,” and his initiatives benefit all citizens regardless of religion, caste, or creed. .
Under Modi, the BJP has focussed on showcasing Jammu and Kashmir as a transforming region. Economic development, investment in infrastructure, and also a crackdown on terrorism have become central to the party’s messaging, he added.
People of Jammu and Kashmir deserve better than politics of division. The BJP will usher in peace and development in each and every part of this region. We will not allow divisive leaders like Engineer Rashid to come in the way of progress,” Chugh said while appealing to the voters to vote for BJP in the coming elections.
