Guv a ‘BJP man’ who doesn’t know what orders Delhi is issuing, says Abdullah

Srinagar: National Conference (NC) patron and party candidate for Srinagar Lok Sabha polls, Dr. Farooq Abdullah on Thursday said that Governor Satya Pal Malik is a ‘BJP man who doesn’t even know about orders that New Delhi is issuing in Kashmir.’
Abdullah was referring to the Srinagar Jammu Highway ban.
“He is not the Governor of JK people but BJP’s man. He even doesn’t know the order that is being issued by New Delhi. He doesn’t even know that highway was banned as the decision was taken by New Delhi and Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh’s statement and Ministry of Home Affairs’ statements have proved it that who has taken the decision,” Abdullah said.
Abdullah also added that this election is different from others as it is not only about Jammu and Kashmir but about the whole country. “People have to choose whether they will go with the secular India or Hindu India,” he said.
He said that people are coming out to vote to save the Muslims, Sikhs, Bodhs and people belonging to other communities. People came to know that if they won’t cast their ballots then they can’t change the situation, he added.
Abdullah further said that people in the Valley have suffered a lot for this vote. “JK people have suffered a lot to cast their votes,” he added.
About less tourist arrivals in JK, Abdullah said there was negative publicity about Kashmir while as Governor of one of the State who is a RSS man asked people not to visit Kashmir and don’t go for Amarnath Yatra but the tourists continue to visit the State. “I believe Kashmir is a paradise on earth and there is no place like Kashmir,” he said.
Abdullah said that New Delhi should remember that JK people are not their slaves. “If they want us to do so then they should be ready for the situation that will emerge here, which can’t be controlled,” he added.
