Srinagar, Nov 06: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national general secretary Tarun Chugh on Wednesday criticised the Omar Abdullah-led National Conference government for “grossly insulting” national institutions like the Constitution and the Supreme Court of India by bringing in a resolution on Article 370 in the Assembly.
“It (resolution) also amounted to disrespecting the Parliament which had put its stamp on the abolition of Article 370,” he said.
Lashing out at the NC government, Chugh said it was a “gravely anti-national act” of the Omar Abdullah government which is aimed at pushing the “agenda laid down by Pakistan’s ISI”.
“The resolution clearly demonstrated that the NC government was determined to follow the Pakistan agenda instead of addressing the problems of the common man,” he said.
“It is a cheap political gimmick. If Chief Minister Omar Abdullah was serious about it, he should have taken the call instead of firing a controversial salvo from the shoulder of a deputy chief minister,” Chugh said, adding, “BJP would not allow such flimsy issues to come to the forefront as the party carries a huge mandate of J&K people endorsing the abolition of Article 370.”
The Omar government, Chugh said, is “deliberately” trying to disturb the law and order situation in J&K by politicising such issues and is trying to take J&K back to the Stone Age.
“The Modi government has already laid down a path of development and progress for the J&K youth and it would be a grave tragedy if the Omar Abdullah government gets J&K back to the dark age times of bullets and violence,” the BJP leader said.
