| NC indulging in double-speak, subverting polity from within: BJP | | | ET Report
Jammu, Feb 20: Accusing NC president and Union Minister Farooq Abdullah of indulging in double-speak over the issue of hanging of Parliament terror attack case convict Afzal Guru, Prof Hari Om, Political Advisor to State BJP President Jugal Kishore Sharma, today said that the NC is giving a dangerous respectability to the cult of terror and directly promoting separatist politics in the Valley for petty votes.
Citing glaring example of alleged double speak from NC leadership, BJP leader said, "On February 25, 2012, Farooq Abdullah, inter-alia, outside the Assembly in Jammu stated that the mercy petition is lying with the President of India. It is now for the President to give her consent - wait till the consent comes. As an Indian, anybody who has worked against India must pay the price for it. There is no freedom of speech against territorial integrity of the country. I will not tolerate this because of being an Indian. But on February 18, 2014, the NC Patron and union minister Farooq Abdullah took U-turn and said that the hanging of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru was absolutely unjustified.
"The NC must make its stand clear on the issue and tell the nation if it was right on February 25, 2012 or it took a right stand two years later, when the Supreme Court of India commuted the death sentence of assassins of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi into life imprisonment. It cannot behave in this irresponsible way just to retrieve the religio-political space it has lost in the Valley during the past more than five years by its acts of omission and commission," Prof Hari Om said. "The BJP also dismisses in strongest possible terms what its provincial president said on Wednesday while defending Faroooq Abdullah, he said.
"The statement of Jammu-based NC supporter that the role of New Delhi in the case of Pakistani agent and dreaded terrorist Afzal Guru was nothing what a naked manifestation of New Delhi's majoritarian aggression and arrogance is highly condemnable," Prof Hari Om said.
While reacting to the shifting stance of Farooq Abdullah and his Jammu-based supporter, Prof Hari Om further said that India is not afraid of Pakistan and other hostile nations as the nation is capable enough to tackle them and added that it is parties like the NC which are seeking to subvert the polity from within and playing the role of Muslim League to ensure another communal partition of India.
He said BJP has defeated their 'break-India games' in the past and forced New Delhi to bring J&K closer to India and it will fight the divisive and communal formations with full force in the future to maintain the unity and territorial integrity of the country. He urged NC and Congress, the PDP and the CPI-M, to discard their politics of soft secessionism and competitive communalism in the interest of the people and the state and warned any failure on their part to reform themselves would only further weaken their position in the Valley and Jammu province. He also reminded NC's politics of autonomy has only led to the erosion of its support-base in the state in 2002 and 2008 Assembly elections as against its tally of 57 in the 87-member House in 1996. |
