Jammu, Sept 22: National Conference Vice President Omar Abdullah hit out at Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday, following his rally in Jammu and Kashmir. Omar Abdullah, mentioned that people in the valley are suffering due to the current situation and want solutions. "The people are suffering due to the current situation and they want solutions. FIRs that have been registered against youth, many of them are being kept in jail outside J&K," Omar Abdullah said.
Following Amit Shah's remarks that under the rule of the NC, Congress and Mehbooba Mufti-led PDP, 40 thousand people were killed over 35 years in J-K, Omar Abdullah said that the Union Minister should decide first on whom to blame for terrorism in J-K. "Amit Shah should come clean. Amit Shah should tell who is responsible for terrorism in J&K. When BJP talks in the rest of India, they blame Pakistan for that but in J&K they blame NC and Congress," Abdullah said. "As far as this allegation is concerned, if they truly believe that NC and Congress are responsible for terrorism, then why are they not talking to Pakistan? If we are responsible, then talk to Pakistan cause they are not responsible.
The roads you have blocked, open them because Pakistan is not responsible. In Jammu and Kashmir, you blame us; in the rest of the country, you blame Pakistan. First, you should decide on whom to blame for terrorism," Abdullah added. On Saturday, Amit Shah said that J-K was burnt in the fire of terror for 35 years under Gandhis, Muftis and Abdullahs family. "Jammu and Kashmir was burning in the fire of terror for 35 years under the rule of these three families: the Gandhi family, Mufti family, and the Abdullah family. Curfew was imposed in Kashmir for 3 thousand days, 40 thousand people, and many army personnel were killed... Prime Minister Modi has buried terrorism under the ground.
Today I want to tell these three families that try as hard as you can, even your third generation cannot bring back terrorism," he said. "The NC has released an agenda that is being supported by Rahul Gandhi's Congress party. Do you agree with this? The NC has said that they will bring a separate flag instead of the tricolor, they will restore Article 370, and they will hold talks with Pakistan. Do you agree with these statements?" Shah added. |
