If Article 370 abrogation worked, why 9 lakh troops still in Kashmir, asks Mehbooba at presser

Sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamare dil mein hai, go and take on China, why suppress Kashmiris: Mehbooba

Srinagar: Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chief Mehbooba Mufti on Sunday took a jibe at BJP led Central government stating that if revocation of Article 370 has resolved all issues, why nine lakh troops are still stationed in Jammu and Kashmir and why they have not been sent to borders.

The PDP chief also accused the Centre of “murdering the democracy” in the name of District Development Council (DDC) polls as alliance candidates are allegedly being confined to homes while others enjoy full freedom.

“Whosoever tries to raise voice against BJP’s atrocities are being dubbed as anti-national and booked under UAPA. There seems to be no place for real democracy in BJP’s India,” Mehbooba said while addressing a press conference at her Gupkar residence.

She said that whenever any BJP minister visited Kashmir, he spoke about the revocation of Article 370, adding that “BJP ministers even claim that Article 370 stands buried.” “So, if all issues have been resolved, why nine lakh troops are still stationed in Kashmir? All the forces should have been sent to borders, what are they doing in Valley,” she said.

Asked about the highest percentage of votes in the phase one of the DDC polls on Saturday, she said, “Highest poll percentage in DDC polls have no bearing on the Kashmir issue. Elections were held in past as well. Kashmir is an issue which needs to be resolved.”

The PDP chief said that BJP is managing election affairs at their own will.

“Muslims are dubbed as Pakistanis, Sikhs as Khalistanis, students as anti-nationals, women protests anti-national. I want to ask BJP that if everyone is anti-national and is being slapped for raising voice against the suppression, who is Hindustani then, BJP only,” she asked.

She said PAGD candidates have been confined to their homes and not allowed to run a poll campaign while BJP candidates are freely roaming around.

On the Roshni scam, she said it is not a scam but was a scheme for poor. “If BJP is so serious about the land grab issue, it should go after big fish, not the poor who have not even 5 marlas of land in their possessions. Notices are being sent to the poor, once such notice is with me,” she said.

Taking a dig at BJP, she said that if Model Code of Conduct is in place, how come SMC Mayoral elections were held. “They (BJP) are themselves murdering democracy. This is real dictatorship,” she said. (KNO)
