STATE TIMES NEWS
JAMMU: State BJP Spokesperson, Prof. Virender Gupta said that Dr. Farooq Abdullah’s statement asking Mehbooba Mufti to step down as Chief Minister of the state shows that the National Conference acted behind the scene to create disturbances in the valley and supported the separatist forces to keep valley in turmoil for the last about four months. He said that this is also obvious from the fact that none of the NC leaders put any effort to bring normalcy in the valley. He said that it is reality that the top brass of the NC leadership was critical of Mehbooda led PDP-BJP alliance government and issued statement blaming the present government for the situation that erupted after the killing of Burhan Wani, but it never uttered a single word against the separatists, terrorists and the Pakistan for fomenting the trouble.
Prof. Virender Gupta asked Farooq Abdullah about the efforts he had put to stop the burning of schools, convince the separatists leaders for allowing the opening of schools and other academic institutions across the valley so that the career of young generation does not get spoiled.
He said that asking Mehbooba Mufti to step down as Chief Minister of the state amounts to further aggravating the situation in the valley and creating further chaos in the state. This reflects a dangerous and mischievous game plan of National Conference, which wants to grind its own political interests without caring about the consequences that the people of valley and country would face, if the present Chief Minister steps down.
Prof. Virender Gupta asked Farooq Abdullah to render his valuable advice to the separatists and Pakistan telling them to maintain peace and live like good neighbours.
