Gandhi, Abdullah families advocating for terrorists, separatists: Anurag Thakur

Jammu, Sep 11: Senior BJP leader and Member of Parliament Anurag Singh Thakur today said that the Gandhi-Abdullah families are advocating for terrorists and separatists in Jammu and Kashmir.

He was talking to media persons. "During the rule of the three families, Jammu and Kashmir became synonymous with conflict, terrorism, and instability. But today, we are living in a Jammu and Kashmir that is progressing on the path of peace, development, and prosperity, “Thakur said.

He added that this story of transformation is not just a result of political change, but of the determination and dedication of Prime Minister Narendra Modi towards the people of Kashmir, which has brought Jammu and Kashmir to this point.

“PM Modi's commitment to stand with the people of this region at every step is well-known. Under his leadership, Kashmir has found a new direction. But now, the Gandhi-Abdullah families are saying they will repeal the Public Safety Act (PSA) in Jammu and Kashmir. They want to release prisoners, separatists, and terrorists from jails. They want to strip the people of Jammu and Kashmir of their rights. The BJP will not let this happen, “ the BJP leader said.

He stated that the Modi government has consistently worked against terrorism and separatism. “Why do they want to release enemies of the country who are locked in jail? Why do they want to disturb the peaceful Jammu and Kashmir again? Why do the Gandhi-Abdullah families have so much sympathy for drug traffickers, terrorists, and stone-pelters," Thakur said.

He added that the three families who deprived Jammu and Kashmir of its rights and acquired luxuries for themselves. It is time that their candidates will certainly lose in elections for the misdeeds. Omar Abdullah, who previously said he would not contest the elections, is now running from two constituencies, and in both places, his condition is really weak. By revoking Article 370, the BJP has provided relief to the people of Jammu and Kashmir,” the BJP leader said.
