Jammu, Sep 16 (NVI): Accusing the National Conference-Congress of nourishing terrorism in J&K, Union Home Minister today said these parties are responsible for the mass exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from the Valley in 1990.
Addressing the election rally in Kishtwar, second since morning, Home Minister Shah said that in 1990’s, Dr Farooq Abdullah was elected after an agreement with Rajiv Gandhi. “When terrorism was at its peak and bloodbath was everywhere, you went to London on vacations. Nehru, Gandhi and Abdulalh’s provided a launching pad to terrorism in Kashmir,” Shah said, adding that once again Abdullah’s and Gandhi’s have joined hands together only to bring back bad old days of terrorism.
“In 1990, these two parties pushed Kashmiri Pandits out of Valley. They are responsible for the mass exodus of KPs from Kashmir,” he said, asked people whether they want revival of terrorism, separatism, stone pelting again. The people responded with big “NO”.
He also asked people whether Afzal Guru wasn’t supposed to be hanged and people responded with “yes.” Omar Abdullah, Shah said, claims that Guru should not have been hanged. “I can only laugh at this statement,” he said.
Training his guns at NC-Congress alliance, Shah said these parties advocate release of jailed terrorists. He asked people whether they should be released, the people responded with “No.” “Til there is Narendra Modi government at the Centre, we are not going to release the jailed terrorists,” he said. Shah asked people do they want attacks on Amarnath Yatra again, do they want stone pelting on the streets and do they want revival of terrorism in J&K, the people shouted “No.”
Lashing out at NC patron Dr Farooq Abdullah, Shah said the senior politician has stopped so low that he claims terrorists and Army have a nexus. “I wonder how low he stoops despite being in politics for so long,” Shah said. (News Vibes of India)
