“BJP helping terrorists’ agenda”

JAIPUR: The Congress party has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party of giving fillip to the terrorists’ agenda in Jammu and Kashmir by spearheading an agitation over the land allotment to the Amarnath Shrine Board. Anarchy and chaos prevailing in Jammu and Kashmir now was the long cherished dream of separatist elements, the party said.

“The BJP is dancing to the tune of separatists and terrorists in Kashmir. What they are doing now cannot come under the definition of patriotism,” Mohan Prakash, Congress spokesperson, said here on Wednesday. “This kind of frenzy is no solution to the problems in Kashmir where the things had been improving under the Gulam Nabi Azad Government,” he said.

“The methodology adopted by the BJP in Jammu and elsewhere over the issue is eminently suiting the separatist agenda. In fact the BJP is dancing to the tunes of the separatists,” Mr.Prakash charged.

Mr. Prakash said the Amarnath Yatra had been going on all these years smoothly with the Muslims along the route fully cooperating with the Hindu pilgrims. “ The Amarnath Yatra has been there even before the BJP or Jan Sangh was born,” he noted. In fact instead of the 100 acres of land over which the BJP and the Sangh Parivar organizations were creating unrest in the country as much as 800 acres (4,100 kanals) of land, including the present 100 acres, were under use by the pilgrims, he pointed out.
