BJP won't let NC, Congress push J&K back to era of violence: Raina

Jammu, Sep 26: J&K BJP President Ravinder Raina today said it is imperative that his party comes to power in Jammu to ensure peace and teach the neighbouring country a lesson.

According to a press release, he also slammed the Gandhi and Abdullah families claiming they have joined hands to end reservation but they will not be allowed to do so.

“After the counting of votes on October 8, your so-called ‘Mohabbat Ki Dukan’ is going to be closed,” Raina said, taking a jibe at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s slogan of “Nafrat Ke Bazaar Mein, Mohabbat Ki Dukan” which he often used during his Bharat Jodo Yatra.

He castigated the National Conference, Congress and PDP over the issue of terrorism and said no stone-pelter or terrorist will be released from jail. After forming a government in Jammu and Kashmir, the BJP will issue a white paper to expose the role of the three families who had “biryani” with terrorists, BJP President said.

“The BJP government is a must in J&K for peace, prosperity and development besides giving a befitting reply to terrorism and teaching a lesson to Pakistan,” he said, urging people to vote for BJP candidates, especially whom he praised for strengthening the party in the region.

“They (NC-Congress alliance) want to release stone-pelters and terrorists (as promised in their manifesto). Farooq Abdullah is talking about a revival of terrorism in Jammu hills but I want to tell them that this is the Modi government and we will bury terrorism in ‘patal’ (deep inside earth). No terrorist or stone-pelter will be released,” he said.

Raina said the NC and Congress are batting for talks with Pakistan and resumption of cross-border trade along the Line of Control. “I want to tell Farooq Abdullah and Rahul Gandhi that there will be no dialogue with Pakistan till terrorism is wiped out. I will talk with my lions (youth of J-K) and not with Pakistan,” he said.

He also slammed the NC-Congress leaders’ remarks on reservation, and said nobody will be allowed to touch reservation given to the deprived sections, including Paharis, Gujjars, Dalits, other backward classes.
