Delhi:
Jammu/Srinagar, Nov 16:BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh, who is also the party incharge for J&K, today came down heavily on Farooq Abdullah, chief of National Conference, for running down the Operation Sindoor and the valorous contribution of the security forces.
In a strong reaction to Abdullah’s statement that Operation Sindoor did not achieve anything, Chugh said it is shameful that the Abdullahs do not respect the contribution of the armed forces which destroyed half a dozen terrorist training centres in Pakistan after the Pakistan sponsored terrorists killed 12 innocents in Pahalgam.
Chugh said the Operation Sindoor was still on and the blast in police station was yet another tribute to the contribution of security forces for defeating the nefarious designs of the
Pakistan ISI forces.
He reaffirmed that the Abdullahs, the Muftis and the Gandhis, families have made it a habit to play into the hands of Pakistan and the ISI while enjoying the status of being the blue-eyed boys of the Pakistani media. He said it is shocking that at a time when the Jammu and Kashmir Police and intelligence agencies have carried out one of the most heroic operations in recent years, Farooq Abdullah has chosen to question them instead of saluting their courage, bravery and sacrifice.
Chugh questioned Abdullah directly, asking whether he was trying to sympathise with the perpetrators who had gathered 2,900 kilograms of explosives with the clear intention of killing thousands of innocent civilians. Chugh said this was not a minor activity but a colossal terror conspiracy that would have brought unimaginable destruction, and it was foiled only because of the exceptional dedication of our security forces especially the JK Police.
He added that nine police personnel of JK Police lost their lives in the tragic blast at the Nowgam police station in Srinagar while handling the retrieved explosives a heart-wrenching incident for the entire nation yet Farooq Abdullah could not find even two words to honour those brave martyrs. Instead of standing with the families of these fallen heroes, he chose once again to grab the moment to advocate for Pakistan.
Chugh said that instead of appreciating the courage that saved countless lives, Abdullah chose to dance to the tunes of the Pakistani Army and the ISI. He said this conduct is disgraceful and exposes the Gupkar gang that repeatedly echoes the sentiments of anti-India forces. He said their close ally, the Congress, especially Rahul Gandhi, must answer whether these are the people he wants to join in running his so-called Mohabbat Ki Dukaan.
Responding to Abdullah’s sudden assertion that “Kashmiris are Indians,” Chugh said such words carry no weight coming from someone who remained silent when lakhs of Kashmiri Pandits were thrown out of their homes and forced to live as migrants in their own country. Chugh said Abdullah’s patriotism was nowhere to be seen during the Kashmiri Pandit genocide, nor did he show sympathy when entire communities were uprooted.
Chugh said that instead of fuelling hatred, creating distractions and speaking the language of Pakistan, the Abdullahs should focus on fulfilling the promises made in their manifesto. He said the people of Jammu and Kashmir have already started giving their response, as seen in Nagrota and Budgam, where the ground.
Chugh emphasised that the people now clearly see who stood with India and who stood with separatists and Pakistan-backed interests. He said no amount of appeasement politics or manufactured outrage will save those who have consistently undermined national security for political survival.
