BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh appealed to the Omar Abdullah government "to give up its pro-Pakistan agenda and to start working on policies and programmes to help the people of Jammu and Kashmir".
He alleged that National Conference (NC) and Congress have allied to disrupt the democratic mandate in Jammu and Kashmir and revive terrorism in the Union Territory.
Besides criticizing the state government, the young leader also cautioned the NC government against murdering the mandate of democracy by resorting to disruptive and violent means.
He also added that the BJP will not let democracy be murdered in Jammu and Kashmir.
Formerly reacting strongly to the BJP members being marshalled out of the Assembly while they were trying to voice dissent against the resolution on Article 370, BJP leader Chugh said, "It was a blatant attempt to stifle the voice of the people."
He registered strong objections to Khursheed Ahmad Sheikh, an Awami Ittehad Party MLA from Langate, bringing a banner into the Assembly that supported the National Conference government resolution.
The BJP leader further said that "this action appears to be a covert attempt to revive terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir under the guise of Article 370".
Such gestures allowed in the Assembly undermine the democratic process and may embolden extremist elements," BJP leader Chugh said, hinting at the possible after-effectives
He also flayed Congress asking them for an explanation over their silence on the Jammu and Kashmir resolution issue.
He alleged, "Chief Minister Omar Abdullah is making a crass attempt to subvert the democratic institutions just to catch media eyes and more importantly to please his master across the border."
The BJP leader repeated that his party stood strong for the unity and integrity of Jammu and Kashmir and would foil all nefarious attempts to bring back the dark days in the Union Territory.
Earlier, the BJP leader and former Union Minister Smriti Irani slammed the resolution passed by the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly, terming it a Congress-led INDIA bloc vote for extremism.
According to Smriti Irani, it is a total disregard for Parliament and Supreme Court decisions on Article 370.
Further criticizing the INDIA bloc, she asked them if they stood for terrorism in the region and against the rights of disadvantageous groups.
