- ‘Cat is out of the bag, BJP’s stand vindicated’
JAMMU: The union minister, Dr Jitendra Singh, on Thursday said that there is a nexus between Pakistan and the so called mainstream parties of J&K namely NC, Cong and the PDP and it has been exposed after the statement of Pakistan’s Defence Minister, Khawaja Asif. “The cat is out of the bag and BJP’s stand has been vindicated after the statement of Pak Defence Minister, Khawaja Asif,” Jitendra Singh said, while addressing a hurriedly called press conference at BJP media center, here today.
Former Deputy Chief Minister, Kavinder Gupta, J&K BJP Spokesperson and incharge media center, Arun Gupta were also present in the press conference. The Defence Minister of Pakistan, Khawaja Asif had stated that Pakistan and NC, Cong and PDP are on the same page for bringing back Article 370.
Dr Singh said that BJP has been consistently saying that NC, Cong and PDP work on the directions of Pakistan. “Our stand has now been vindicated after Pakistan’s Defence Minister’s statement,” he said while adding, “The boycott calls in previous elections used to come from Pakistan and these parties used to form government with just 5% to 8% turnout”.
The boycott calls during elections and victory of NC, Cong and PDP leaders with mere 8% voting also clearly indicates that the boycott calls were also a part of deep rotted nexus between Pakistan and these so called mainstream parties, Dr JItendra said.
He said that NC is responsible for militancy and unrest in Kashmir. “NC-Cong rigged 87 elections after which urest and militancy started in Kashmir,” he said, while adding, “NC leaders including Farooq Abdullah used to go to Pak and meet Amanullah and other leaders to devise strategy for taking forward the Azadi movement”.
He said that these parties again want to push J&K back into the era of unrest and militancy but BJP will not let this to happen. NC, Cong, PDP owe an explanation to the nation, he said.
