Welcoming the ban on Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front, BJP Saturday said the reaction of some mainstream politicians in the valley including former Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti is “unfortunate”.
“The Bharatiya Janata Party expresses satisfaction overthe swift action taken by the government of India regarding ban on JKLF whichwas instrumental in fomenting trouble in the state in early eighties,” theparty said in a statement here.
“What was the then Congress government at the Centre expected to do, has been done by the Modi-led government in a positive and effective action. This is the most laudable action since the announcement of ban on communal Jamat-e-Islami which created hatred and violence in the minds of the young Kashmiris against the nation and other communities,” it said.
