Srinagar, July 06: BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh came down heavily on the former chief minister and PDP president Mehbooba Mufti over her remarks on land allotment to the homeless in J&K which, he said, were “signs of panic and frustration”.
Chugh in a statement said the J&K administration has provided relief to homeless people by giving them five marla land each but Mehbooba Mufti was playing her “cheap politics” on it. Instead of appreciating the initiative of the J&K administration, she is spreading fear and uncertainty among the poor and homeless people of the union territory, he said.
“Mehbooba like politicians have failed to deliver justice to the people of J&K in the past 70 years. These political leaders only cared for their chair and privileges and left the common masses into an uncertain situation for decades who lost their loved ones in the turmoil triggered by vested interested politicians for the sake of their power,” Chugh said.
The BJP leader alleged, “Muftis and Adbullahs have never worked for the poor in J&K and have always taken directions from the Pakistan ISI to keep J&K under-developed and poverty-stricken. PDP, NC and other political parties pampered terrorism in J&K in the past three decades who allowed terrorists and their sympathizers to instigate anti-India uprisings in the valley.”
“J&K was dubbed a capital of terrorism in their regimes. However, the Narendra Modi-led government reined anti-India elements in J&K and made UT the capital of tourism. Today, millions of tourists are visiting Kashmir. In 2022, the tourism sector broke all past records, which vindicates the determination and commitment of PM Narendra Modi to take J&K to newer heights,” he said.
Tarun Chugh said that after 2019, the BJP government has brought J&K into the path of peace, prosperity and development where every citizen of the UT is feeling proud and is contributing to nation-building. However, this outlook of the common masses of J&K doesn’t suit Mehbooba Mufti and her like-minded politicians who are leaving no stone unturned to instigate people on baseless issues, he said.
He hailed the efforts of PM Narendra Modi for rolling out “people-friendly” schemes that have brought reformation to the country.
