Senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and spokesperson Dr. Tahir Choudhary strongly condemned remarks made by NC MLA Mir Saifullah regarding the development in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK).
Addressing a press conference at the BJP headquarters, Dr. Choudhary criticized Saifullah for allegedly praising PoJK’s development and creating a misleading narrative.
Veenu Khanna, Secretary, J&K BJP and Anu Gupta, senior leader were also present in the press conference.
“It is appalling that an elected representative would make such claims. The reality is that PoJK is facing severe economic distress, infrastructural collapse, and a lack of basic amenities. There are continuous protests against Pakistan’s administration, with people waving Indian flags and demanding integration with India,” he stated.
Dr. Choudhary also took dig at Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir Omar Abdullah, criticizing his remarks linking PoJK’s alleged development to China’s involvement. He demanded a public apology from Abdullah and the National Conference.
“Omar Abdullah must apologize to the people of Jammu and Kashmir for propagating misleading claims. The BJP will not tolerate such falsehoods aimed at distorting the truth. If necessary, we will take strong action against such statements,” Dr. Choudhary asserted.
He further accused the National Conference of having a soft corner for Pakistan and China, citing the party’s history of making statements that allegedly align with Pakistan’s interests.
“The NC has always misled the people of Jammu and Kashmir. Their stance reflects an inclination towards Pakistan and China, undermining India’s position on Jammu and Kashmir,” he added.
Reiterating the BJP’s unwavering commitment to the development and integration of Jammu and Kashmir, Dr. Choudhary affirmed, “The BJP will never compromise on the interests of Jammu and Kashmir or the Dogra community. We stand with the people and remain dedicated to their progress and prosperity.”
