Farooq Abdullah trying to demoralise security forces: Chugh

Jammu, Aug 13: BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh, who is also the party incharge for J&K and Ladakh, today criticised  National Conference (NC) President Dr  Farooq Abdullah for” trying to demoralise the security forces deployed in J&K.”

Taking strong exception to Abdullah's recent statement regarding collusion of security forces with the Pakistan elements, Chugh said it was a strongly reprehensible and condemnable observation which was motivated to mislead the people of J&K, a press release said.

The senior BJP leader added that the security forces in J&K have  achieved a big success by negating Pakistan-sponsored terrorism.

“It was only because of people like Abdullahs and Muftis and Gandhis that Pakistan gets the confidence to create disturbance in J&K. The entire J&K knows how Abdullahs have been hand-in-glove with the Pakistan ISI to deprive the people of growth the progres,” he said.

Chugh said it was "shameful and disgusting" that Abdullah was trying to target the security forces who have done exceptionally commendable work to guard the nation in the past few years. The Modi government would not allow nefarious designs of Abdullahs and Muftis to succeed in any case, he added.

“The J&K has already a new era of development and progress where the youth is finding new opportunities of employment and growth. Undoubtedly the people would teach Abdullahs a befitting lesson in days to come,” Chugh said.
