Omar Abdullah Criticizes Amit Shah’s Remarks on Jammu and Kashmir
Budgam, Jammu and Kashmir
National Conference Vice President Omar Abdullah criticized Union Home Minister Amit Shah after his rally in Jammu and Kashmir. Omar Abdullah stated that people in the valley are suffering due to the current situation and are seeking solutions.
Omar Abdullah said, “The people are suffering due to the current situation and they want solutions. FIRs that have been registered against youth, many of them are being kept in jail outside J&K.”
In response to Amit Shah’s claim that 40 thousand people were killed over 35 years under the rule of the NC, Congress, and Mehbooba Mufti-led PDP, Omar Abdullah questioned whom the Union Minister blames for terrorism in J-K. He said, “Amit Shah should come clean. Amit Shah should tell who is responsible for terrorism in J&K. When BJP talks in the rest of India, they blame Pakistan for that but in J&K they blame NC and Congress.”
Omar Abdullah further added, “As far as this allegation is concerned, if they truly believe that NC and Congress are responsible for terrorism, then why are they not talking to Pakistan? If we are responsible, then talk to Pakistan cause they are not responsible. The roads you have blocked, open them because Pakistan is not responsible. In Jammu and Kashmir, you blame us; in the rest of the country, you blame Pakistan. First, you should decide on whom to blame for terrorism.”
On Saturday, Amit Shah stated that Jammu and Kashmir was burning in the fire of terror for 35 years under the rule of the Gandhi, Mufti, and Abdullah families. He said, “Jammu and Kashmir was burning in the fire of terror for 35 years under the rule of these three families: the Gandhi family, Mufti family, and the Abdullah family. Curfew was imposed in Kashmir for 3 thousand days, 40 thousand people, and many army personnel were killed… Prime Minister Modi has buried terrorism under the ground. Today I want to tell these three families that try as hard as you can, even your third generation cannot bring back terrorism.”
Amit Shah also mentioned, “The NC has released an agenda that is being supported by Rahul Gandhi’s Congress party. Do you agree with this? The NC has said that they will bring a separate flag instead of the tricolor, they will restore Article 370, and they will hold talks with Pakistan. Do you agree with these statements?”
