Ghulam Nabi Azad, Altaf Thakur flay Farooq Abdullah’s remarks on Pakistan as ‘Kashmir’s saviour’
‘A leader who has taken an oath under the Indian Constitution cannot be allowed to question the country’s intentions towards its own people while giving political legitimacy to Pakistan’s narrative,’ BJP spokesperson says
BJP spokesperson Altaf Thakur and DPAP president Ghulam Nabi Azad have strongly criticized National Conference (NC) president Farooq Abdullah's remarks on Pakistan during a party workers convention in Baramulla district on October 24, 2026. The NC chief had referred to Pakistan as "Kashmir's saviour," a statement BJP deemed "sedition and anti-national."
Thakur demanded legal action against Abdullah for questioning India's intentions towards the people of J&K while giving Pakistan a pro-inflammatory role. Azad accused Abdullah of projecting Pakistan as a protector of Kashmiris, disregarding the suffering caused by terrorist activities. Both BJP and DPAP called upon authorities to examine Abdullah's remarks and take necessary legal action.
