Abdullahs Pak’s ambassadors in India, says BJP gen secy Chugh
Jammu, July 12
BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh on Thursday lambasted former chief ministers Farooq Abdullah and Omar Abdullah for echoing sentiments aligned with Pakistan without acknowledging the significant development and peace achieved in Jammu and Kashmir and said they are ambassadors of Pakistan in India.
“Both Farooq Abdullah and Omar Abdullah should be labelled as ambassadors of Pakistan in India. They are echoing sentiments aligned with Pakistan’s ISI without acknowledging the significant development and peace achieved in J&K,” said Chugh, who also serves as the party’s in-charge for Jammu and Kashmir. Escalating his attack, the BJP leader said, “They have shown no regard for our armed forces who work tirelessly to thwart the ISI’s agendas”.
“Whenever ISI-backed terrorists strike, the Abdullah family rushes to criticise the Modi government,” he added.
Highlighting the progress since the abrogation of Article 370, Chugh emphasised that “there has been a new era of development in J&K, which the duo failed to see”.
“Incidents of stone-pelting and strikes have drastically reduced, bringing near peace to the region,” he added.
Chugh said the Abdullahs realised that they were losing ground as people now desire enhanced education and employment opportunities, which the Modi government has provided and will continue to do so. He alleged that the Muftis and Abdullahs had kept J&K in darkness for ages and added, “The abrogation of Article 370 has ushered in a new era of development and progress in J&K, contrary to the desires of the Abdullahs and Muftis”.
