INDIA bloc helping anti-India forces, alleges J&K BJP

BJP’s J&K unit has accused the Kashmir-centric parties of making provocative statements that were helping “anti-India forces”.

Girdhari Lal Raina, former MLC and spokesperson, J&K BJP, said, “The provocative and potentially dangerous statements by the leaders of Kashmir-centric political parties like National Conference and INDI-alliance are helping anti-India forces”.

“Strong action against over ground workers (OGW) leading to snapping of the nexus between terrorists, ISI, stone-pelters and separatist sympathising politicians along with shattering funding channels through coordinated efforts of National Investigation Agency (NIA) and revenue intelligence were effective tools to substantially bring down terrorist violence in J&K post-2019,” said Raina.

Raina said that law enforcement agencies were able to work efficiently without bias or prejudice is also an established fact. “This situation is being sought to be reversed by ‘vested interests’ after the formation of an elected government in the Union Territory,” he cautioned.

“Ministers, elected representatives, and leaders of NC and INDI-alliance are issuing irresponsible statements that are helping the narrative of ISI and the terrorist groups operating in J&K. These statements are used by enemies of the country to revive separatism and radical terrorism,” the BJP spokesperson said.

Raina said that official data corroborated by independent agencies have explicitly shown that there is a more than 70% decline in terror incidents. “Since 2020 there has been a steady decline and the number of such attacks on security forces fell to 95 in 2021, 65 in 2022, 15 in 2023, and five so far in 2024, the data shows,” he said.
