Early Times Report
Jammu, June 6: Senior BJP leader and former MLA Baldev Raj Sharma stoked a controversy by calling ongoing selective killings in Kashmir Valley as “minor” incidents.
Although Union Home Ministry is redevising its strategy to counter dangerous designs of terrorists, the BJP leader termed the recent civilian killings in Kashmir as “minor” incidents.
Addressing a press conference to highlight the achievements of the Union Government, Sharma said that recent selective killings of non-locals, Kashmiri Pandit employees, and Dalit teacher Rajni Bala as “minor or stray” incidents of terrorism in Kashmir Valley. He argued that attacks being carried out in the valley were not ‘major’ terror attacks as they didn’t involve heavy weapons. The BJP leader said that the attacks were examples of minor incidents, unlike earlier days when terrorists used to move in big groups.
Meanwhile, Congress has taken a dig at BJP for the celebrations of eight years of the Modi government and its senior leaders terming the innocent killings as “Chhut Put Gatna", which shows the insensitiveness of the BJP towards the innocent killings in Kashmir.
Reacting sharply to the highly outrageous comments of a senior BJP leader and former MLA Baldev Raj terming the killings as "Chhut put matter," JKPCC termed it shameful and asked the party to apologize to the families of the martyrs.
The ruling party is celebrating the eight years of BJP government while innocents are getting killed, minorities are fleeing from Kashmir, Kashmir Pandits and Jammu employees are protesting for shifting to safer places and the government has held migrant employees hostage inside their camps. |
