Jammu, Oct 04: AamAadmi Party’s (AAP) state spokesperson PratapJamwal Tuesday said that ongoing three days visit of Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Jammu and Kashmir is a litmus test for BharatiyaJanta Party and this visit will show us the seriousness within the party towards the issues of Jammu and Kashmir.
Jamwal was addressing a press conference in the Party office in Jammu wherein he mentioned the visit of Union Home Minister as an important one in the political and social circles of Jammu and Kashmir.
Pratap said that Union Home Minister Amit Shah is on visit in Jammu and Kashmir and this will show how serious BJP is towards the plight of Kashmiri Pandits.
He said that Kashmiri Pandits are living a life of exile in their own nation and like other parties BJP also used their plight to gain vote bank and to look into its political benefits.
“During elections, BJP promised big things with Kashmiri Pandits promising their rehabilitation but all those promises are nowhere on ground and BJP leadership is not even ready to talk on these,” PratapJamwal said.
He further said that the only thing BJP has done so far is facilitating a movie and to show the pain of KPs in reel life whereas the party has a completely insensitive approach towards KPs in real life.
“On one hand BJP is using the plight of KPs to gain publicity but on ground nothing is being done for KPs who are living a life full of hardships in accommodations like in Jagti migrant camp.” he added.
