Jammu, July 6 :The BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh on Thursday came down heavily on former chief minister and PDP President Mehbooba Mufti over her remarks on land allotment to the homeless in Jammu and Kashmir which, he said, were signs of panic and frustration.

Chugh said, “the J&K administration has provided for a relief to homeless people by giving them five marla land each but Mehbooba Mufti was playing her cheap politics on it. Instead of appreciating the initiative of the J&K administration she is spreading fear and uncertainty among the poor and homeless people of the Union Territory.”

“Mehbooba like politicians have failed to deliver justice to the people of J&K in the past 70 years. These political leaders only cared for their chair and privileges and left the common masses into an uncertain situation for decades who lost their loved ones in the turmoil triggered by vested interested politicians for the sake of their power,” Chugh said in a statement.

He said Muftis and Adbullahs have never worked for the poor in J&K and have always taken directions from the Pakistan ISI to keep J&K under-developed and poverty-stricken.

He said PDP, NC and other political parties pampered terrorism in J&K in past three decades who allowed terrorists and their sympathizers to instigate anti-India uprisings in the valley.

“The J&K was dubbed a capital of terrorism in their regimes; However, the Narendra Modi led government reined anti-India elements in J&K and made UT a capital of tourism. Today millions of tourists are visiting Kashmir. In 2022 tourism sector broke all past records which vindicates the determination and commitment of PM Narendra Modi to take J&K to newer heights,” he said.

He also said post-2019 the BJP government has brought J&K into the path of peace, prosperity and development where every citizen of the UT is feeling proud and are contributing in nation building.

However this outlook of the common masses of J&K doesn’t suit Mehbooba Mufti and her like-minded politicians who are leaving no stone unturned to instigate people on baseless issues.

Chugh praised efforts of PM Narendra Modi for rolling out people-friendly schemes that have

brought reformation in the country.
