Srinagar: BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh Thursday came down heavily on former chief minister and PDP president Mehbooba Mufti over her remarks on land allotment to the homeless in J&K, saying it was the sign of “panic and frustration” in her.
Chugh said the J&K administration has provided relief to homeless people by giving them land, but Mehbooba Mufti was playing “cheap politics” over it.
Instead of appreciating the initiative of the J&K administration, she is spreading fear and uncertainty among the poor and homeless people here, he said.
“Mehbooba like politicians have failed to deliver justice to the people of J&K in the past 70 years. These political leaders only cared for their chair and privileges and left the common masses into an uncertain situation for decades,” Chugh said.
He said Muftis and Abdullahs have never worked for the poor in J&K and have always taken “directions from the Pakistan ISI” to keep J&K under-developed and poverty-stricken.
He said PDP, NC and other political parties “pampered terrorism in J&K in past three decades, and allowed terrorists and their sympathizers to instigate anti-India uprisings in the valley.
“The J&K was dubbed a capital of terrorism in their regimes; however, the Narendra Modi-led government reined in anti-India elements in J&K and made UT a capital of tourism. Today millions of tourists are visiting Kashmir. In 2022 tourism sector broke all past records which vindicates the determination and commitment of PM Narendra Modi to take J&K to newer heights,” he claimed.
He also said post-2019, “the BJP government has brought J&K into the path of peace, prosperity and development where every citizen of the UT is feeling proud and are contributing in nation building.”
However this outlook of the common masses of J&K doesn’t suit Mehbooba Mufti and her politicians like her who are leaving no stone unturned to instigate people on baseless issues, Chugh alleged.
