New Delhi, Apr 28: National Conference patron, Dr Farooq Abdullah's statement that those voting for Narendra Modi would drown themselves into sea has drawn flak from Bhartiya Janata Party leaders
who said that such statements from a Union Minister show how desperate he is to woo voters in Kashmir where his party has miserably failed on all fronts.
National Spokesperson for BJP, Prakash Javedkar told a news gathering agency that Farooq Abdullah doesn't know what he is speaking and what he wanted to convey. "He has done nothing for the people of Jammu and Kashmir ever since he became the Union Minister.
Before the elections, he never bothered to visit his Constituency and now he is trying to befool people by attacking Narendra Modi who is going to be the next Prime Minister of India," he said adding that people are wise enough to differentiate between good and bad and they know it well that in the victory of Modi lies their victory.
He further said that the performance of Farooq Abdullah as MP is dismal and his report card about progress and development is zero.
Meanwhile, another senior leader of BJP, Arun Jaitley has criticized Farooq Abdullah for his 'meaningless' comments.
On his official Facebook page, Jaitley, said Dr Abdullah's comments on Modi is a blatant disrespect of the majority's opinion, adding that secularism has failed the most in his own state of Jammu and Kashmir where ethnic cleansing of Pandits took place.
"Dr. Farooq Abdullah's statement that those voting for Narendra Modi would drown themselves into sea deserves to be condemned by all.
This demonstrates Dr. Abdullah's contempt for the majority opinion," Jaitley wrote on his official Facebook page.
"Farooq Sahib believes and rightly so that India is secular and will not accept communal politics. Where is it that secularism in India has seen the single greatest failure? We had aberrations and unfortunate incidents in various parts of the country," he added.
Jaitley added in his post: "The single greatest failure of secularism in India is within Farooq Sahib's own state of Kashmir. If India has witnessed an ethnic cleansing by having one community of the State, namely, the Kashmiri Pandits ejected out of the State, it has only happened in Kashmir."
Jaitley questioned Abdullah if his state would welcome back Kashmiri Pandits once again with open hands in their state or not.
"India will never accept communal politics. I am glad when Farooq Sahib says that Kashmir will not accept communal politics. But will Kashmir offer the red carpet back for the resettlement of the Kashmiri Pundits," Jaitley wrote.
"India will vote Narendra Modi as the Prime Minister. Nobody needs to jump into the sea because of that.
But if Farooq Sahib and his party are silent spectators, when the Kashmiri Pandits cannot go back home he should, as a gesture of repentance, at least take a dip in the Dal lake," he added. |
