BJP hits out at Hurriyat leader over his freedom remark

BJP today strongly condemned Hurriyat (G) Deputy General Secretary's recent remark that 'inspiration for the freedom struggle of Kashmir is only Islam and establishing a model Islamic state is our first and last objective'.
"Hurriyat is 'His Master's Voice' and speaks the language Pakistan wants it to speak. It has no ideology of its own and is a puppet of Pakistan's ISI.
"It is for this reason that its leaders rush to the Pakistan High commission at the first given opportunity," BJP spokesperson Brig Anil Gupta said.
It is a non-negotiable fact that Kashmir is an integral part of India and no power on earth can separate Kashmir from the country, said Gupta.

"The statement by the Hurriyat leader isaimed at disturbing communal harmony in the state and instil a sense of fear and uncertainty in the minds of the minorities but the nationalist cadre of BJP is always ready to meet such challenges and ensure unity and integrity in the state", he said.
Gupta further said that the creation of an 'Islamic State' is the declared aim of terrorist outfits like ISIS, Al-Qaeda, LET, JEM and Taliban.

Hurriyat through such statement has acknowledged the fact that it is working to further the agenda of these terrorist organisations in the state, he said.

"Such open and defiant support of these dreaded terrorist outfits by the Hurriyat demands an immediate ban on the party as all these terrorist outfits are already facing an international ban," he added.
Pakistan which has launched a proxy war against India and is openly sponsoring terror will never succeed in its nefarious design of disintegrating India particularly Jammu & Kashmir, Gupta said.
"Omar Abdullah must have the knowledge that most of the
terrorists killed in Jammu and Kashmir recently belonged to Pakistan and must be aware of the admission statements of Pakistani terrorists captured by the Indian security forces.

"Omar needs to explain the reason for denial of truth and for his blatant lies," he said.
The NC leader had yesterday said that Kashmir is a political issue which needs to be addressed politically.
"The first step is to admit and recognise the anger and then take steps to address it," Omar said.
Lashing out at the former chief minister, the BJP leader asked, "who was behind motivating the 10-12 year old children to throw stones at the security forces."
"Did the Prime-Minister not make efforts to have negotiations with Pakistan to resolve the bilateral issues between the two countries? Did Modi not make attempts to address the various issues confronting the people of Jammu and Kashmir? Did he not make many visits to the state particularly the Valley?" Gupta questioned.

He also refused the demand to initiate an inquiry into the allegations of excessive force by security forces while dealing with protestors.
The former chief minister said all the opposition parties were worried about youths getting killed and injured in security forces' firing, while the state and the central governments "mishandled" the situation.
The BJP spokesman questioned how many enquiries were conducted during the outbreak of violence after 1990, 2008 and 2010 when National Conference and Congress were in power.
He also said that any political solution for Jammu and Kashmir can only be worked out by taking people of all the three regions into confidence.
