| FM's statement on merger stirs a hornet's nest | | BJP to make it a poll issue | | early times report
Jammu, Oct 22: The recent statement of Union Finance Minister P Chidambaram supporting National Conference (NC) patriarch Dr Farooq Abdullah and Chief Minister Omar Abdullah's views on accession has stirred a hornet's nest with BJP and other opposition parties asking Congress to clarify the stand on accession of J&K with India.
The BJP which is main opposition Party in the country has warned Congress of serious consequences if it does not come clear on accession. The Congress should not mislead the nation and put the record straight, said BJP leader and president Muslim Morcha J&K Mushtaq Noorabadi. He said BJP will make it an important issue during the elections and expose Congress for its double speak on merger which is complete and final.
The BJP has decided to raise the issue during the ongoing electioneering and parries the people how Congress leadership was harming the national interests in J&K and other Parts of country, he added.
Mushtaq said why Congress was misleading the nation and accused the Party of opening a Pandora's box with the statement of PC. The Party has always played with the sentiments of people of Kashmir issue and this will not be tolerated.
He said PC is a senior leader in the Party and by siding with NC on the issue of merger of the J&K with Centre he has hurt the sentiments of crores of peace loving nationalist people in the country.
He said the BJP has taken the statement very seriously as it is concerning national unity and integrity and the Party will not tolerate such statements but instead will wage a war against the Congress on this account. Mushtaq said that it was the double speak of Congress on Kashmir issue since 1947 that Indian people are paying through nose and Pakistan was taking undue advantage of the same.
He sought an explanation from Congress Party that why it was misleading the people on important issues concerning the national unity and integrity and appealed the peace loving people of the country to teach the Party a lesson so that it will not repeat such follies in future. Holding Congress responsible for prevailing mess in the State, Mushtaq said it was due to wrong policies of Congress that terrorism surfaced in the State in late nineties and lakhs of people were uprooted in the State.
Besides Noorabdi some more BJP leaders have come against the statement of PC and termed the NC and Congress the two faces of same coin. These parties included Shiv Sena, VHP, Bajrang Dal, JKDF, SDP, PK, ASKPC and KPC. While commenting on the statement of PC, the leaders of these organisations said that this shows that Party has no clear cut national agenda to pursue as the statement has come as a surprise and rude shock to crores of countrymen. |
