| BJP pursuing separatists’ ideology to divide Jammu on communal lines | | Spokesman used “objectionable” term Chenab Valley; party has yet not issued any clarification | | Early Times Report
Jammu, June 12: Tasting power for the first time in the political history of J&K, BJP is ready to sacrifice its ideology to appease different sections of the society, even separatists. On Thursday, BJP organized a series of press conferences across Jammu region to highlight six-year achievements of the Narendra Modi led government at the Centre.
In connection with this series, a press conference was organized at Doda for which the party has deputed its spokesperson, Abhijit Jasrotia, who repeatedly used the controversial term Chenab Valley for the erstwhile Doda district, comprising Doda, Ramban and Kishtwar districts.
Shockingly Jasrotia’s press conference, with heading of Chenab Valley, has been published in almost all newspapers but party leadership has not issued any clarification which is a clear indication that BJP has also decided to divide Jammu on communal lines as per separatist ideology.
Important to mention here that BJP had earlier always objected to the use of term ‘Chenab valley’ for the Muslim-majority areas of the Jammu province.
While sharing power with PDP, BJP in the month of November 2016 had opposed its own government for using this term as the party was of the view that it was deliberately being used by Kashmiri leadership to divide the Jammu region on communal lines.
“Using the term ‘Chenab valley’ in the official handout amounts to pursuing communal politics in Jammu and a bid to divide this region on religious lines,” BJP had reacted at that time. |
