Srinagar: Jammu and Kashmir National Conference President Dr Farooq Abdullah on Sunday criticized Prime Minister Modi’s speech by calling Muslims infiltrators and by promoting anti-Muslim rhetoric in the ongoing election campaign.
“The India bloc will win all six Lok Sabha seats in Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh,” Dr. Farooq said in his speech during the ceremony. “The BJP has developed cold feet and chose to withdraw from the race after sensing an imminent defeat at the hands of the National Conference. It is hiding behind its agents but this will not Succeed Be it the Lok Sabha elections or the polls, new records are being achieved thanks to your hard work. I am happy to see your enthusiasm but seeing your enthusiasm makes other party leaders feel cold.”
“The BJP has not been able to win hearts in Kashmir and the decisions taken in 2019 have angered and alienated people in the Valley. The BJP has not left the field open. Some parties are being helped behind the scenes by the BJP. People need to know who He is playing this game here and said: “It will be known who is conspiring with whom and who is involved in the conspiracies against Jammu and Kashmir, which will weaken the voice here and help the BJP succeed.”
“The decision should be taken by the voter. We have been deceived and humiliated. If not by any other means, at least, through our votes we should raise our voice. It is a big opportunity for the voters of Srinagar to fill the political vacuum created here,” he added.
Accusing Prime Minister Modi of expressing his opinion by equating Muslims with infiltrators, Dr Farooq said that sensing an impending defeat for the BJP and its leadership is once again leading to stockpiling fear and playing communal cards. “Yet people are asking the BJP questions about employment, development and progress. But their progress report is empty. You cannot feed people with collectivist sentiment indefinitely. Our youth want jobs, our elderly want better health care, our mothers and sisters want better services. People are fed up with BJP and are ready to teach them a lesson in the ongoing elections Udhampur, Jammu state has spoken with one voice and rejected BJP now it is time for the people of Kashmir to respond with one voice against the agents of BJP and its followers here.
