Srinagar, June 05: Reacting strongly to former J&K chief minister and National Conference president Dr Farooq Abdullah’s statement that India should have a dialogue with Pakistan, the BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh on Monday said if New Delhi will talk to anyone, it will only be with the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
“Farooq Abdullah remains a pawn in the hands of Pakistan,” Chugh said in a statement, adding that he should learn from the “new developments” in J&K.
“During the rule of Abdullahs, Kashmir was popular for bullets and bombs. PM Narendra Modi has made J&K an epicenter of tourism from terrorism. If India will talk to anyone in the future, it will be only with the people of Jammu and Kashmir,” he said.
Chugh said the G20 summit in Srinagar was a historical event and it concluded peacefully with wholehearted support of the people from all walks of life. Those who were speaking against the conduct of the G20 summit should introspect and repent for their misdeeds, he said.
The BJP leader said that Muftis, Abdullahs and Gandhis had “destroyed the goodwill” of J&K. “It is Prime Minister Narendra Modi who brought J&K out from the quagmire of uncertainty and destroyed the ecosystem of terrorism and their supporters. Kashmir has started a journey towards peace, prosperity and development and it will continue ahead,” he said.
