Jammu, May 29: BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh on Monday demanded the “most stringent punishment” for separatist leader Yasin Malik for his “subversive and divisive role” in J&K.
“Yasin Malik was responsible for bloodshed in Kashmir for more than 40 years which led to massacre against Hindus as well who later had to flee J&K,” he said in a statement.
Chugh said Yasin Malik had been receiving red-carpet treatment from Abdullahs, Muftis and the Congress as “they had turned blind to his nefarious anti-national acts”.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has ushered J&K into a new era of development and progress where the youth is looking for new hopes and aspirations, he said.
“From terrorism to tourism, the J&K has entered a new stage of development and is bent upon defeating the designs of the Pakistan ISI which prevailed during the times of Muftis and Abdullahs,” the BJP leader said.
