New Delhi, September 7 (IANS). BJP’s national spokesperson and Rajya Sabha MP Sudhanshu Trivedi had a special conversation with IANS on Saturday regarding the Jammu and Kashmir assembly elections. During this, he questioned the Congress that why is it standing with the separatists?
BJP spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi said that the statement given by former Congress party ally and former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has exposed the horrific intentions of the Congress and the Indo-Pakistani alliance in front of the public. If Omar Abdullah gives such a statement that he does not consider Afzal Guru’s case worthy of hanging, then the Congress should be asked whether what the investigative agencies did during their tenure was wrong? The second question I want to ask the Congress party is that during their time, the Supreme Court had given the decision to hang Afzal Guru, was that wrong?
He said that I would like to remind the countrymen that the Supreme Court had commented about Afzal Guru that his crime was the most serious. This makes it clear that Congress is in the hands of wrong elements for the sake of political interests. We want an answer from the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha and Congress National President Mallikarjun Kharge and Sonia Gandhi as to why the Congress Party is standing with the separatists?
On Friday, BJP released its manifesto for the Jammu and Kashmir assembly elections. On this occasion, Union Home Minister Amit Shah targeted the opposition parties and said that “all the parties that have been in power here till now have only done the politics of appeasement and harmed the interests of the people.”
Let us tell you that voting in Jammu and Kashmir will be held in three phases, voting for the first phase will be held on September 18, for the second phase on September 25 and for the last phase on October 1. The election results will be declared on October 8.
According to the Election Commission, there are 87.09 lakh voters in 90 constituencies in Jammu and Kashmir. Of these, 42.6 lakh are women. The number of young voters voting for the first time here is 3.71 lakh while there are a total of 20.7 lakh young voters, whose age is between 20 and 29 years.
