Jammu, May 2 (UNI) The Jammu and Kashmir unit of Bhartiya Janata Party on Monday criticized the deliberate attempt to allegedly communalise the situation in Jammu and Kashmir Union Territory by former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah by deceitfully trying to connect Power cuts with holy month of Ramzan in Sehri and Namaz.
“This was a well thought of design to mislead and misguide a particular religion against Govt for petty political gains,” Sunil Sethi, BJP Chief Spokesperson said in a press release.
He said that finally National Conference is thrown away its false clothing of Secularism and its communal face with fangs have come out adding, “though Bhartiya Janata Party had also requested the Administration to improve power supply but at the same time it can’t be forgotten that power Supply is affected largely of defective power policies of previous regimes which has left huge outstanding arrears.”
The Chief Spokesperson noted with concern that there had been no opposition to reckless statements of Omar from constituents of PAGD which exposes tactical acceptance and approval for shifting to communal politics.
This is a dangerous trend which will further radicalize the situation a bit Unfortunately PAGD has gone low in politics with an eye on upcoming elections, he added.
Sethi said such communal tirades have no place in the tolerant society of Jammu and Kashmir and is yet another attempt to engineer violence.
He also took exception to the statement of Omar questioning accession of state to Union and added that the decision to accede to India was taken by Ruler of the state as was done in cases of other states.
He said that the Bhartiya Janata Party stands for brotherhood amongst all Nationalists belonging to different religions and will oppose all attempts to weaken the secular Fibre of mutual Co existence.
