In loving memory of Dr. Priya Ranjan: A mentor who treated me like family

JAMMU: Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) President Ravinder Raina today said  it is imperative that the BJP comes to power in Jammu and Kashmir to ensure peace and teach the neighbouring country a lesson. Ravinder Raina also slammed the Gandhi and Abdullah families claiming they have joined hands to end reservation but they will not be allowed to do so.

“After the counting of votes on October 8, your so-called ‘Mohabbat Ki Dukan’ is going to be closed,” Ravinder Raina said, taking a jibe at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s slogan of ‘Nafrat Ke Bazaar Mein, Mohabbat Ki Dukan’ which he often used during his Bharat Jodo Yatra.

He castigated the National Conference, Congress and PDP over the issue of terrorism and said no stone-pelter or terrorist will be released from jail. After forming a government in Jammu and Kashmir, the BJP will issue a white paper to expose the role of the three families who had ‘biryani’ with terrorists, BJP president Ravinder Raina said.

“The BJP government is a must in J&K for peace, prosperity and development besides giving a befitting reply to terrorism and teaching a lesson to Pakistan,” he said, urging people to vote for BJP candidates, especially whom he praised for strengthening the party in the region.

“They (NC-Congress alliance) want to release stone-pelters and terrorists (as promised in their manifesto). Farooq Abdullah is talking about a revival of terrorism in Jammu hills but I want to tell them that this is the Modi government and we will bury terrorism in ‘patal’ (deep inside earth). No terrorist or stone-pelter will be released,” he said.

Raina  said the NC and Congress are batting for talks with Pakistan and resumption of cross-border trade along the Line of Control. “I want to tell Farooq Abdullah and Rahul Gandhi that there will be no dialogue with Pakistan till terrorism is wiped out. I will talk with my lions (youth of J-K) and not with Pakistan,” he said.

He also slammed the NC-Congress leaders’ remarks on reservation, and said nobody will be allowed to touch reservation given to the deprived sections, including Paharis, Gujjars, Dalits, other backward classes.

“Gandhi and Abdullah families have come together to revoke reservation, revive terrorism and are talking about terrorism from ‘Mohabbat Ki Dukan’. After counting of votes on October 8, your so-called ‘Mohabbat Ki Dukan’ is going to be closed.

“I want to ask Abdullah who is responsible for 30 years of terrorism, death of 40,000 people, civil curfew for over 3,000 days… you were enjoying your holidays in London while Kashmir was burning,” the home he said, adding the Modi government came to power and “cleared terrorists”.

“After elections when our government is formed, we will bring a white paper on terrorism and will fully expose the three families — Congress, Abdullahs and Muftis. We will see who brought terrorism to the Valley and under whose direction, who enjoyed ‘biryani’ with terrorists. We will expose everything,” raina asserted.

He said the tricolour is flying proudly in J-K and they want to restore the state flag of NC founder Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah. “Abdullah do whatever is in your power! But except our beloved tricolour, no other flag will fly in Kashmir.”

The Ravinder Raina claimed the NC wants to rename ‘Shankaracharya as Takht-e-Suleiman and Hari Parbat as Koh-e-Maran’. Nobody has the power to make such changes and the two hills in Srinagar will be known by their names till eternity, he said.
