BJP Leader Criticizes Abdullahs, Accuses Them of Pro-Pakistan Sentiments

BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh criticized former chief ministers Farooq and Omar Abdullah, accusing them of favoring sentiments aligned with Pakistan. Chugh highlighted the development in Jammu and Kashmir since the abrogation of Article 370, asserting that the Abdullah family fails to recognize the progress and peace achieved in the region.

BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh on Thursday lambasted former chief ministers Farooq Abdullah and Omar Abdullah for echoing sentiments aligned with Pakistan without acknowledging the significant development and peace achieved in Jammu and Kashmir and said they are ambassadors of Pakistan in India.

Escalating his attack, the BJP leader said, they have shown no regard for our armed forces who work tirelessly to thwart the ISI's agendas. Whenever ISI-backed terrorists strike, the Abdullah family rushes to criticize the Modi government, he added.

Highlighting the progress since the abrogation of Article 370, Chugh emphasized that there has been a new era of development in J&K, which the duo failed to see. Incidents of stone-pelting and strikes have drastically reduced, bringing near peace to the region, he added.

Chugh said the Abdullahs realized that they were losing ground as people now desire enhanced education and employment opportunities, which the Modi government has provided and will continue to do so.

He criticized the Muftis and Abdullahs for keeping J&K in darkness for ages and said the abrogation of Article 370 has ushered in a new era of development and progress in J&K, contrary to the desires of the Abdullahs and Muftis.

Chugh further said that their covert support for Pakistan ISI's designs is not only condemnable but also highly anti-national.
