 "Separatists are stooges of Pakistan: BJP")
BJP Jammu and Kashmir Spokesperson Virender Gupta on Monday claimed that separatists are stooges backed by Pakistan.
"People like Sayeed Ali Shah Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, Yasin Malik are not the stake holders as being proclaimed by some pseudo intelligentsia they are basically stooges of Pakistan," Gupta said in a statement here.
He claimed the real stake holders are the refuges from Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK), Kashmiri Pandits and people of Jammu and those of valley and Ladakh.
The BJP leader claimed that Congress leaders have not uttered a single word in favour of security personnel to boost their morale.
