Jammu January 07:(KNS) "The PAGD leaders have once again flared up a campaign based on divisive and instigating agenda which has since lost its relevance and is retrograde and out of date", said Ashwani Kumar Chrungoo, senior BJP and Kashmiri Pandit leader & Incharge, Deptt of Political Affairs and Feedback, J&K-BJP.
He was interacting with the party activists in Jammu today and emphasized that the divisive, instigating, confusing and anti-social agenda unleashed by various interested parties has been defeated long ago by the people of the erstwhile state now UT. He was referring to the statements issued by a number of PDP leaders including its President, Mehbooba Mufti that 'Kashmir needs a resolution and Kashmir has to play its role as a bridge between India and Pakistan'.
As per statement issued to "Kashmir News Service" (KNS) reads, "Unfortunately, the PDP President is so absessed with this 'bridge politics' that sometimes she says that Article 370 was a bridge between Kashmir and the rest of India, while now she advocates that Kashmir was a bridge between India and Pakistan. Many a time she called PDP a bridge between the people of Kashmir and Delhi. The obsession seems to have rejuvenated after the DDC elections".
The theory that double currency, porus borders and free trade in Jammu and Kashmir as advocated by the PDP will show seven countries of South Asia the path of so-called peace is not only laughable but is also devoid of national character and political understanding. There can't be two opinions about the fact that Jammu and Kashmir is a settled issue and the type of statements GAPD leaders are issuing have potential to instigate people to violence and breakdown of law and order, Chrungoo maintained.
He further added, "there can never be reversal of the 5/6 August, 2016 political developments that amended the constitution of India and fully integrated Jammu and Kashmir with the rest of India permanently. It is a misnomer and is also tantamount to hoodwinking the public opinion in case the leaders talk of any sort of reversal of abrogation of Art370/35A or dessolution of the erstwhile seperate constitution of J&K".
"While the leaders are asked to desist from such an unpatriotic narrative, the public is also appealed to ignore such a political trash that has potential to devastate their future and progress in an otherwise positively changed scenario in the UT".(KNS)
