Mehbooba Mufti day-dreaming about bringing back Article 370: Altaf Thakur
PDP chief could gather only six people to stage protest in Delhi; Article 370 rolled by Parliament of India with over 300 votes of MPs, it won’t come back; Safron hub Pampore to be developed as model town of Kashmir
Srinagar, Dec 07: Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) J&K spokesman Altaf Thakur Tuesday took a jibe at PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti by staging a protest in New Delhi along with just six party men stating that the PDP chief should give logic as to how she can bring back something that has been rolled back by none other than the parliament of India with full majority.
“PDP chief claims to be a popular leader but unfortunately she could gather only six party men to stage a protest in Delhi. She claims that she will get back Article 370, but I wonder how the former chief minister of J&K has started day-dreaming about bringing back Article 370,” Thakur said while addressing a public gathering at Town Hall Pampore.
He said time has gone when leaders like Mehbooba would befool people by waving green flags and green handkerchiefs as people of J&K UT are mature enough to understand the political gimmicks of party’s like PDP and its head.
“Article 370 was rolled back by India’s supreme institution called Parliament with the votes of over 300 MPs. How come the PDP leader can bring it back,” Thakur questioned and said that the PDP leader should stop her moves aimed at hoodwinking people of Kashmir by raising slogans about something that would never come back.
Thakur said that Article 370 has gone forever and J&K is at par with any other Indian state/UT and would be at the top on development and peace fronts. “Dynasty politics has ruined J&K and the BJP government has closed the chapter of family rule forever,” he said, adding that people of J&K will never vote in favour of those who filled their own coffers to meet their petty political goals.
Thakur assured the people of Pampore to stay steadfast and to support BJP’s agenda of peace, progress, and development of J&K and the equal treatment to one and all. He said all the grievances of people of Pampore will be discussed with the concerned officials for timely redressal as BJP is committed to Prime Minister Narendera Modi’s slogan of sab ka saath, sab ka vishwas.
Thakur urged people to stay alert and not to fall prey to hollow slogans of some parties whose ultimate aim is to grab power. He said the BJP led regime is committed to promote the saffron town of Pampore on modern lines and make it a model town of Kashmir.
