NC, Congress furthering Pakistan’s agenda in ongoing J-K polls: BJP’s Chugh

Says Pakistan is trying to meddle in the ongoing assembly elections in J&K

Srinagar, Sept 19: BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh today alleged that the National Conference and the Congress are furthering the agenda of Pakistan in the ongoing J&K elections.

Taking a strong note of the statement of Pakistan Defence Minister Khwaja Asif to a Pakistani TV channel in which he said that Pakistan and the NC-Congress alliance are on the same page for the restoration of Article 370 and 35 (A), Chugh, who is also party in-charge of J&K, said it has “completely exposed the NC and the Congress for pursuing the Pakistan agenda.”

Chugh said it not only demonstrated Pakistan’s intention to interfere in the J&K elections but also established that the Abdullahs of the NC and the Gandhi family in the Congress have been taking directions from Pakistan forces to cause disruption and disturbance in J&K.

Demanding an explanation from the Abdullahs and the Gandhi family to clarify their links with the Pakistan ISI, Chugh said it was “reprehensible that an anti-national alliance has been dancing to the tunes of Pakistan forces to fool the people of J&K.”

In the past also it was clearly demonstrated by the Abdullahs that they would rather follow the agenda dictated by the Pakistan ISI to deprive J&K to its due development and progress. “It has been the foremost agenda of the Abdullahs and the Gandhis to keep J&K on the boil so that their vested political interests are protected at the cost of the common man in J&K”, he said.

Chugh said the “BJP takes strong exception to this dangerous alliance of the Pakistan forces with the NC and Congress and warned the people of J&K against falling into this anti-national trap at a time when voting has started for the Assembly elections in J&K.”
