‘To become CM, Mufti embraced BJP when it was patronizing Ghar Wapsi’
Srinagar, Feb 10: National Conference Tuesday congratulated Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) for its “glorious victory” in Delhi Assembly polls saying BJP’s decline signified the rejection of “communal and divisive” politics in the country.
“Communal overtones and policies of the BJP government as emphasised by issues like ‘Ghar Wapsi’ and recent attacks on religious places had resulted in the drastic rejection of BJP in the country’s capital to start with,” National Conference General Secretary A M Sagar said.
On the talks between BJP and People’s Democratic Party (PDP) for government formation in Jammu and Kashmir, the former minister lashed out at patron of the arch rival Mufti Mohammad Sayeed for giving “sanctity” to BJP in the Valley at a time when the party stands exposed for its “communal policies” all over the country.
“Mufti sahab, in his desperation to become the Chief Minsiter, embraced the communal right-wing at a time when BJP was patronizing ‘Ghar Wapsi’, forced conversions and communal politics across the length and breadth of the country. This should be an eye-opener for Mufti Sayeed and PDP. BJP’s decline will be steeper than its ascension to power due to its communalism and Sayeed will be a part of this decline,” Sagar said.
He alleged that the PDP’s absolute lack of “idealism, ideology and courage” has resulted in the people of Kashmir being “humiliated and back-stabbed” for the singular goal of power and Sayeed’s dream of becoming the Chief Minister again.
“Soon BJP will stand rejected in every state in the country but Mufti Mohammad Sayeed will give BJP and RSS a historic entry into the state and will consequently belittle and demean the mandate of the people. The people of the state can never make peace with what BJP and RSS stand for and their history of anti-Muslim policies and ideology. The people will never forgive Sayeed for this historic betrayal,” Sagar added.
