"Threat To Kashmiri Pandits A Plot To Stall Statehood": Farooq Abdullah's Remark Sparks Fury
The remarks, made at a time when fresh threat letters have put Pandit employees and families on edge, have drawn sharp condemnation from the displaced Hindu community and the BJP.
Srinagar: National Conference president Farooq Abdullah has accused Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha and his administration of orchestrating threats against Kashmiri Pandits to prevent Jammu and Kashmir from achieving statehood. Questioning why senior Hindu officers are not threatened, Abdullah expressed doubt about the authenticity of the threats claimed by the administration.
He highlighted that the Central government has been telling the world that peace has returned to the region, yet accused the administration of instilling a climate of fear. The NC president demanded answers from the Lieutenant Governor regarding the source of these threats. Abdullah also criticized the Centre for failing to deliver on promises made regarding delimitation, elections, and the restoration of statehood.
He alleged that the party that helped revoke Article 370 is now misleading the people. Abdullah asserted that the NC will not be suppressed and that they stand by their manifesto, vowing to continue working for the people despite the challenging circumstances.
