JAMMU/CHANDIGARH: BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh on Saturday slammed Omar Abdullah and Farooq Abdullah for misleading the people of Jammu and Kashmir with their false narratives and failing to deliver on the promises made in their manifesto.
Chugh said that Omar Abdullah is making such statements on Article 370 only to shield himself from the tough questions of his own party workers and supporters. He asserted that Article 370 is long gone and will never return, emphasizing that today’s Jammu and Kashmir has transformed into a region of peace and prosperity, leading the nation in tourism.
“Under PM Modi’s leadership, Jammu and Kashmir has hosted prestigious international events like the G20, proving its emergence as a thriving hub of development,” Chugh added.
Responding to Omar Abdullah’s baseless claims of ‘fabricated peace’ in Jammu and Kashmir, Chugh said: “PM Modi’s zero-tolerance policy against terrorism is yielding results, and we are committed to eradicating terrorism from this land completely.”
Taking on Farooq Abdullah’s call for dialogue with Pakistan, Chugh strongly stated that terrorism and talks cannot go hand in hand. He criticized the senior Abdullah for acting like a PRO of Pakistan instead of standing with the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
“Instead of advocating for talks with Pakistan, he should ask his son and Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister to focus on fulfilling promises and working for the betterment of the people,” Chugh said.
