SRINAGAR: BJP National General Secretary and Incharge J&K, Tarun Chugh on Saturday said that People’s Alliance for Gupkar Declaration (PAGD) is a group of retired and tired people with a perverted mindset.
Quoting Chugh newspaper Daily Excelsior reported that leaders in PAGD have retired and a have perverted mindset as they have always played with emotions of the people of J&K.
He said that BJP has record of every development that took place in its tenure and whenever PAGD wants they will provide them the data.
“I would also like to request PAGD to issue a white paper on their tenures of the last 3 decades during which they ruled J&K,” he maintained adding: “If they think violence is taking place now, then they should look back at their tenures and see the graph of killings that took place in their tenure and compare it with the graph of BJP’s tenure.”
“We provided free health insurance scheme to poor people in J&K, we provided them ration through ration cards, built road infrastructure in J&K and made J&K terrorism free,” he claimed.
According to report, Chugh said that if PAGD compares the graph of their tenure with that of BJP’s, everyone will get to know that during BJP’s tenure citizens have been protected, while in PAGD’s tenure people were killed.
He also said that in their tenure Pakistani flag was flying in J&K, whether at Lal Chowk or anywhere else, while in BJP’s time Indian flag is flying everywhere.
“They gave stones, AK-47 and grenades to Kashmiri youth but we gave them jobs, computer and education. Today youth are becoming doctors, engineers and IAS officers but then they would become Mujahideen. This is the difference. Abdullah and sons and Muftis should give report card of their tenures,” he added.
Lambasting the PAGD, he said that it a group of people who spent their reign to destroy Kashmir and spoil its peaceful atmosphere.
“Now that development is visible on ground they want to divert the attention of people by their vague statements,” he said.
On possibility of holding elections in J&K, he said that BJP believes in democracy and with this commitment they held BDC and DDC elections.
“Now delimitation process is going-on in J&K and it is an independent process, which is why it is taking time. As and when the process of delimitation is completed, elections will be held in J&K,” Daily Excelsior quoted Chugh as having said.
