Jammu, May 3: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) J&K executive member Raman Suri on Wednesday took the former chief minister of J&K and National Conference president Farooq Abdullah head-on, asking him to “stop playing divisive politics by shouting how Jammu did not get any G20 meet”.
“For the information of Farooq Abdullah, the Youth-20 (Y20) meeting which is part of over 2000 G20 events being held in the country was a major diplomatic achievement for India and Y20 Jammu meet was also part of this event,” Suri said in a statement.
He regretted that “such a grand success at the international level wherein Ladakh and Jammu listened to the opinion of young foreign delegations is not being digested by the National Conference and its leaders, who are still stuck in 2019 when Article 370 was abrogated and a way for such events was paved”.
“Irked over India’s grand success, Farooq Abdullah stands blinded towards such developments wherein youngsters from around the globe are descending in Jammu and Ladakh to have a fair judgment of the situation and are going back home with sweet memories,” he said. “For the knowledge of the former chief minister who is finding flaws even in the best of events, Y20 meet held at Jammu University was also a part of the G20 meet and instead of cribbing, he should have appreciated Kashmir hosting G20 delegates and welcomed young delegates from other countries to Jammu as well as Ladakh. But, he chose to crib, spread hatred, and divide people into the conventional lines of the regional and religious divide.”
The BJP leader advised Farooq Abdullah to “stop banking upon old, tested, tried, and failed ways of dividing people”.
