Srinagar :TheJammu and Kashmir unit of the CPI(M) on Wednesday launched a scathing attack on BJP over its public outreach program in the Union Territory, saying “the move to parachute 36 ministers is propaganda in panic mode as the party has failed on every count throughout the country”.
Party’s senior leader and former MLA Kulgam Mohammad Yusuf Tarigami in a statement said, “What is the need for the BJP ministers to visit J&K when the government claims everything is normal? Reality is that they want to sell Kashmir’s ‘normalcy’ and ‘all is well’ story for those in mainland India who are ignorant about Kashmir’s ground realities”.
Reacting to the statement of Union Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi in Srinagar that his government’s “outreach program is aimed at resolving all the issues confronting people in Jammu and Kashmir, Tarigami said the visit is “nothing but a hoax”.
“Did the BJP government assess what has befallen on people of J&K after abrogation of Article 370? How the economy of J&K got shattered due to its misadventure,” Tarigami said, adding that the abrogation of Article 370 was an “assault” on the Constitution of India.
