Bharatiya Janata Party state spokesman Altaf Thakur on Friday lashed out at National Conference president Dr Farooq Abdullah for “trying to befool people” of Kashmir by claiming that Kashmir was a dispute.
In a statement Thakur said that “Kashmir was an integral part of India even though there were someinternal issues like unemployment and development which is the core agenda ofBJP and the party is committed to make Jammu and Kashmir a model state in thecoming years.”
He said, “BJP never expected such a statement from aseasoned politician like Dr Farooq Abdullah and stated that Kashmiri people arefully aware of the vote bank politics of some regional parties and theirleaders who have always filled their own pockets rather than doing good for thepeople. People of Kashmir were knowing the fact that how they were fooled bysome politicians who speak in different tunes in Delhi, and Srinagar only togain political mileage.”
Thakur said that people of Kashmir cannot be befooled againand BJP would foil all such moves.
He said Jammu and Kashmir was an integral part of the Indiaand would remain so and false claims made by some politicians like Dr FarooqAbdullah can’t change the basic facts.
Thakur said under the leadership of Prime Minister NarenderaModi, Jammu and Kashmir is set to touch new heights in terms of development,peace and prosperity.
Thakur said BJP leadership at Centre was ready to talk toanyone who believes in country’s constitution. He said party would openheartedly talk to those who have faith in country’s constitution and thereshould be no doubt in it.
